Tiffany Chung: entangled traces, disremembered landscapes

A three-channel video installation and a suite of cartographic artworks make up Tiffany Chung’s first solo show in Hong Kong, “entangled traces, disremembered landscapes.” On view at Kiang Malingue through May 6, visitors will find Chung’s ongoing exploration of history, geopolitics, and memory informing this look at the interconnectedness of topics like nature, war, colonialism, culture, and state-making. Through Chung’s gaze, cartography becomes art and geographies suggest all of the histories they’ve witnessed. Chung invites her viewers to consider these hidden narratives while experiencing works that are the product of studies and research. In particular, the featured works examine subjects and locations like the U.S. military global footprint, histories of the terra rouge plateau in Bình Long-Phuóc Long, and pirate attacks from the 1980s in the Gulf of Thailand.
