Press Release

Writing the Time Lag is an experimental documentary by Taiwanese artist Lee Tzu Tung that traces how one makes sense of national identity, and provides a glimpse into the colonial dynamics of a transnational public sphere.

Initiated in 2014, this film is informed by an ethnographic approach to collaborative and participatory filmmaking, where activist voices and political narratives give form to what the artist calls a ‘microcosm of Taiwan’s complex identity dynamics’.

In addition to their political involvement, Tzu Tung’s approach to documentary reveals how one’s perspective changes through time, and foregrounds a multi-layered and diachronic approach to documenting the subjectively political and historically personal.
