Tang Kwong San was born in 1992 in Dongguan, mainland China. Tang's creative practice hovers between video, installation, drawing, and photographs both old and new to create an environment that feels like home, in order to tell the scattered history of an individual, a family and a nation, indirectly revealing his thoughts about his own identity. The absence of a mother is at the core of his early work, elaborating on the theme: drifting in a foreign land, within a mother’s final moments.

Located at the far east of Hong Kong, Tung Ping Chau is just a stone’s throw from mainland China. During the 1970s, refugees often tried to flee the Cultural Revolution by ship across the sea to Hong Kong. Tang filmed the video work Diaspora III (2022) at Tung Ping Chau. He placed a stack of books into a transparent box and recorded the moment of waves soaking a selection of books. The traces which left behind the books link him to the past experience of his mum fleeing the country, at the same time questioning the issues of diaspora and the bonding between people and the place we lived.
