_Shuttle (from North to South), 2002 video, 13 30 min. A badminton shuttlecock is mounted in front of the lens of the camera. A ride through the city of Yogyakarta is simply recorded from the back of a motorbike, creating a sensation of flying behind the shuttle, that dominates the centre of the image. The urban landscape passes by in the periphery of the frame. The ride takes us from the north of Yogyakarta to the city s south, through the historical quarter of the Kraton. This simple, hypnotic image and its title refer to the game of badminton as a carrier of a complex national identity of a nation struggling with its global positioning, and at the same time alluding to the ambivalent situation of the first-world artist in which he confronts himself with a wider audience. Produced during a residency in Yogyakarta (Indonesia) and shown at the exhibition GRID at Cemeti Art House, Yogyakarta (November 2002) and Erasmushuis, Jakarta (March 2003)

_Mockery (Projections), 2002 featuring Atone Niane video installation, 15 20 min. As an overseas Chinese -born in Indonesia, educated and living in the Netherlands- Tiong Ang was aware of his ambivalent relationship with China, its people and its rapidly developing art world. To avoid the quagmire of false associations connected to this situation, he chose to remain silent about this topic and invite someone else to address the Chinese audience. This person is the African storyteller Atone Niane, who was invited to speak about the artist s undertaking to show his work in China for the first time. In the video two men enter an empty room, an African man and a Chinese man (the artist himself), both wearing suits and sunglasses. The artist in the background remains silent and shows slides in a slide projector, of which the lens is directed straight into the lens of the recording camera. The African man s monologue in front of the image is upfront, confrontational, expressive. His story unfolds the dilemma of the artist, entering the Chinese art market, acknowledging a diasporic position but refusing the limitations of such a label. Gradually the storyteller mixes the artist s story with his own position as an overseas African emigré, creating a verbal and unparalleled complexity about the global discrepancies between north and south and between east and west. When the African man starts to speak in a trance, he is guided away by the artist. They leave the room together.

_Geheugenspel (Memory Game) 2004 ( with Roy Villevoye ) _In three videos a girl and two boys (about ten years old) pose as old people. They wear masks with wrinkles and white hair and speak with trembling voices. Individually or in pairs they pretend to recount memories from their childhood long ago, events which actually have just happened in their lives. In a fourth video an elderly man wearing a child s mask is bringing up memories of his childhood. In the installation the four videos were played on seperate monitors. Spotlighted by theatre lamps, the masks of old men and women were displayed on two tables. The public was invited to try the masks on in front of a mirror and to join in the memory game. de kleine biennale, Utrecht, 2004 MUHKA Antwerp, 2004

_FINAL (Mixed Doubles), 2002 with Joned Suryatmoko and Uung Qadriatin (actors) video, 14 min., colour / sound / Bahasa Indonesia A man and a woman in sports outfits enter the space, a dressing room. They are badminton players preparing for an important match (see title). It remains unclear whether they represent their country, a club or just themselves. After a short warm up the two players reflect upon their thoughts and emotions regarding the coming match and the tensed relationship they ve established with each other. Occasionally, a mysterious Chinese man in black appears (the artist), without saying a word. Is he their patron, their coach or the referee perhaps? The behaviour of the players, their conversations and individual monologues in front of the mirror (being the lens of the camera) unveil a deep sense of distrust and anxiety, only set aside by a mutual ambition to win the game. The match itself remains unseen, but two different possible results are shown; losing and winning. In the end, in a moment of violent euphoria, the couple beat up the man in black, leaving the dressing room in utter chaos. This video must be regarded as a video performance. It was taped in one morning session, in a series of shortly instructed but improvised scenes. There were no script, no rehearsals, no translations. The spoken language is Indonesian (which the artist doesn t speak himself). The camera was placed in one single position.
