Abstract
Tsunan Museum of the Lost is a new commissioned project for the new Hong Kong House in the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale 2018.
The artists find something poetic about an unknown person unknowingly being captured in a photograph by chance. Talking to many people who have some form of connection to Tsunan, they asked these people to contribute photographs about the region and observing these anonymous individuals who existed just in one specific moment in the lives of the people who had provided these photographs, the artists imagined stories and backgrounds for these anonymous individuals. By putting together these personal memories through the cooperation of the local community, they created and exhibit a collective memory in Hong Kong House's gallery space.
Totally 49 found objects (photos) are presented with carefully-scripted captions as a large installation of vitrines. Seven life-sized photos were created as re-enactment of those minor figures found in some of those found images.
