Ting Lim – You Pho Real? – Melbourne

You Pho Real? is a bowl of contradictions left to simmer too long – a mix of good intentions that, when combined, look suspiciously like a manifesto.
It’s about juggling identities, expectations and experiences that don’t fit. Ever had a doctor call you out for having a fat neck? Or somehow lose weight because your dog’s on a diet? Exactly. Make it make sense.
It’s confusion served hot, garnished with trauma and topped with a slice of is this for real? It’s funny until it’s not – then it’s even funnier. A series of jokes that make as much sense as the poster.
Welcome to the contradiction buffet we call life.
