Wong is primarily known as a video artist whose experimental works explore sexuality, race, and place. However, he has worked in still photography throughout his career, including contributions to the collaborative project, 13 Cameras/Vancouver, 1979, organized by Roy Kiyooka. In 1977, Wong collaborated on Murder Research, which used thirty-six photo/text panels and a video to offer a blended fact and fiction account of the murder of a young Indigenous man.
