Two Temple Place exhibition 'State-less' explores boundaries through East and Southeast Asian artists

'State-less,' an exhibition at Two Temple Place in London, showcases moving images and photographs by artists from East and Southeast Asia, focusing on the visible and hidden boundaries that influence global experiences. Curated by Ling Tan of the Kakilang collective, the exhibition features twelve pieces that tackle themes of displacement, urban change, and environmental issues. Tiffany Chung's video 'km 0 – Son’s Story' recounts a refugee's two-decade quest for asylum post the 1979 Sino-Vietnamese war. Lo Lai Lai Natalie's five-channel video 'The Days Before the Silent Spring' highlights environmental activism in Hong Kong. Other works include Wu Tsan-Cheng's 'Taiwan Sound Map Project' and Robert Zhao Renhui's 'Singapore 1925–2025.' The exhibition is open until April 9, using exposed scaffolding to juxtapose urban settings with the venue's grand architecture.
