Square Relationship
Collaboration with Jacqueline Sim
Mixed Medium : Postages, Chewing Gum, Fruits, Animation.. etc
Inspired by the ‘Project Starlight’ between Singapore and Taiwan, the work reflects the present that ceased to a point of transition from the past to the future. A relationship between two countries becoming swayed by a third party, evidently portray in the incident where Singapore nine armored troop carriers were intercepted in Hong Kong.
Akin to the chewing gum slogan: Let’s make a friend, this project is a friendly exchange where Singapore artist (Jacqueline Sim) and Taiwan artist (Yung-Chih Lee) send items through legal postages to each other - slipping through the seepage between permitted and restricted, constraint and possibilities.
‘Project Starlight’ is a military agreement made in 1975 between Singapore’s late prime minister Lee Kuan Yew and Taiwan’s then premier Chiang Ching-Kuo. In the recent years the project has been under close scrutiny from China.
