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.
