carriage, 2021, 100 x 68 cm , archival pigment print.
“According to Tang, while wars have victors, pandemics leave only the vanquished. Believing it important to memorialise this time, she hopes to capture our collective experience. During the pandemic, the artist experienced seven lock downs in Victoria – the most frequently locked down city in the world. Deserted city life inspired her to create Carriage. The vessels of public transport, once bustling with people, now stand empty. By layering multiple images into one, the original image disappears into the composition – just as the rigid routines of our days blur into one.”
