Tyler Rollins Fine Art is pleased to present finding one’s shadow in ruins and rubble, a solo exhibition of new works by Tiffany Chung. One of Vietnam’s most prominent and internationally active contemporary artists, Chung will present a new project in the upcoming Venice Biennale as part of the exhibition All the World’s Futures, curated by Okwui Enwezor (May 9 – Nov. 22, 2015). Opening on April 16, finding one’s shadow in ruins and rubble marks her fourth solo exhibition with the gallery, and features multi-media works relating to the lingering effects of three natural and manmade disasters: the 1995 earthquake that devastated Kobe, Japan; the current conflict in Syria; and the battlefields of the Vietnam War. These separate yet intertwined components reflect the artist’s long-term research into geographical shifts in countries that were traumatized by war, human destruction, or natural disaster, with a particular focus on the growth, decline, or disappearance of towns and cities, and related issues of urban development, environmental catastrophe, and humanitarian crisis.

The exhibition features work perhaps the most explicitly linked to the artist’s biography, or rather, that of her father, a former pilot for the South Vietnamese Air Force. Archival fragments relating to his wartime experiences are juxtaposed with Chung’s current investigations of disused and ruined airstrips scattered about southern Vietnam. Chung’s project relating to the massive destruction in Kobe, Japan, a country in which she has worked extensively for many years, is also informed by the notion of contemporary ruins, as related through archival video and photography as well as her characteristic map drawings.
