Sung Tieu

Sung Tieu lives and works in Berlin, Germany and London, UK. Tieu's work thakes place at the intersection of her personal experience, global history, and the cultural incursions of European art traditions. Her immersive installations result from her research of the dynamics of hegemonic globalised capitalism, working through and with spatial dislocation while paying heed to the cultural testimont of the Vietnamese diaspora communities in Germany. Through the personal lens of post-colonial identity and cultural membership, she upsets the status of objective narrative. While addressing social and cultural class divides in both contemporaneity and recent history, Tieu's work foregrounds the ways evidence is manipulated in imperialist violence both of physical and psychological nature.
