About Work

As a work of partial audio video created by Chen in 2002, “Lingchi – Echoes of a Historical Photograph” owes its inspiration to a photograph of lingchi taken by a French soldier in China in 1905. For Chen, the two deep wounds on the chest of the victim in the photograph are reminiscent of the “time tunnel” that links the past with the present. On one end of the tunnel is the brutal darkness of the past we learned through the historical photograph, whilst on the other end is the lingchi-like process of “modernization” gradually shown to us.
