Abstract

Archival inkjet print in wooden frame, engraving on plexiglass, set of 2
64 x 49 x 6.3 cm (each).

Source: Richard M. Nixon by F. Clyde Wilkinson, vintage silver print, 20 x 25 cm, 1962.

Richard M. Nixon made his first visit to Hong Kong as US Vice-President in 1953. During the riots In 1967, he was spotted with Marianna Liu, a hostess at the Hong Kong Hilton Hotel, which unfolded an FBI investigation on suspicions of her being a spy for China. While there was no incriminating evidence that suggested Liu as an intelligence agent, the later unclassified FBI files reveal an intimate and romantic relationship between the two.

The words "Extremely Recalcitrant" came from a comment by magistrate Enoch Light, describing the 14 Belilios schoolgirls who were charged for obstructing police officers or trespassing on school property during the 1967 riots in Hong Kong. The girls had been excluded from the court for being "unruly and disrespectful" (as reported in the South China Morning Post, Nov 18, 1967).

In the seminal book On Photography [1977], Susan Sontag also sees reality as "recalcitrant". She writes, "Photographs are a way of imprisoning reality, understood as recalcitrant, inacessible; of making it stand still."
