FLUX Media Gallery presents The Chinese Bone Collector, an event by Paul Wong and Jeffery Chong, as a part of their year long project Occupying Vancouver. The is a part of FLUX Gallery's Invocations exhibitions from Sept. 12-22.
The Chinese Bone Collector is an experiential video mapping work that will specifically honour the memory of Jeffery Chong’s great grandfather, Chong Hing Young (1874-1928), buried in Chinese Cemetery in Oak Bay, and the spirits of other sojourners whose bones were never returned to China, including Paul Wong’s mother Wong Suk Fong (1926-2017). This event invites participants to join at the altar to remember their own dead by practicing Chinese ancestral worship rituals that involves using all five senses: sight, sound, smell, taste and touch.
