Ngo Chun Phoenix Tse

Artha (2024)

Ngo Chun Phoenix Tse is a Hong Kong born artist living and working in London. He works with moving image, text, installation and performance, critically engaging with the historiography of decolonisation, the production of technological and cinematic images and the hauntology (a philosophical and cultural concept describing how the past and "lost futures" linger in the present) of diasporic experience. Tse’s Artha is a three-channel installation reimagining scenes from Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky and Aguirre, the Wrath of God by Werner Herzog, to reflect on "the fractured terrain of diasporic memory and the search for sanctuary." Each channel presents a distinct visual thread: Tarkovsky’s desolate Zone, Herzog’s relentless river journey, and a central space untethered from geography.
