2015–2016
NARRATOR:
flotsam and jetsam is an installation work created by Tiffany Chung from 2015 to 2016. The work includes watercolour, ink and acrylic on paper, acrylic panel, and two-channel digital videos with colour and sound. The dimensions of the work vary depending on how it is set up in the display space.
The work includes twenty-eight paintings that are hung in chronological order on the wall from left to right and staggered at different heights. Among the paintings are long acrylic plates of different colours placed horizontally. On each transparent plate is written a date between 1974 and 1994. Texts on each plate describe incidents that happened on that date. On the plates that are red, blue, or grey in colour is a word or a short phrase in capital letters.
Some of the paintings are black-and-white, while others are in colour. Each depicts a different scene related to Vietnamese refugees that occurred between 1974 and 1994. The scenes include the arrival of refugees in Hong Kong, a dock crammed with boats, decks of cargo ships and fishing boats that are jam-packed with thousands of people. Other paintings portray life in the detention centres. Some refugees look dull and listless, while others wear a smile. Another group of paintings depicts scenes of protests, disturbances, police subjugation, and a conflagration. There are also paintings that portray people leaving a closing detention centre, and people sleeping in the city under a highway.
In addition to the paintings and acrylic plates, there are also two videos played on separate screens. The first video is 1 minute and 36 seconds long. It documents a few Vietnamese-speaking people revisiting the High Island Reservoir that is adjacent to the High Island Detention Centre, reconstructing the image in their memories of looking up from the car at the rockfill dam. The second video is 4 minutes and 58 seconds long. It documents three Vietnamese-speaking women revisiting the former site of the Pillar Point Vietnamese Refugees Centre, recollecting memories outside the construction site.
