Wong Ping’s animations are striking for their bright neon colours and outspoken style. The inspiration for Who’s the Daddy is an apparently innocent popular children’s song about fatherhood. A bad match on a dating app leads to a roller-coaster of emotions, full of suppressed sexual desire, fear and perversion, all presented with disarming openness and humour.
