Tiong Ang

The work of Tion Ang (1961, Indonesia) spans a wide array of media. Recurring themes are the impact of mass and digital media on individual perspective and collective memory, and the anxieties evoked by mobility and globalization. In these contexts, Ang addresses multiple modes of human presence and representation, using social intervention and juxtaposition, chance and communality. He explores subjective positions in divided, ambivalent, and collective conditions, be it on ethical, ethnic, or sociopolitical grounds.
