Utilizing found text and images taken from history textbooks and ESL workbooks, Is this a map or a clock? is a digital animation that chronicles the artist’s family history of migration- first from southern China to Southeast Asia and later from Southeast Asia to the United States as refugees- through a study of the relationship between space and time and, more specifically, of the interactions between nostalgia, expectation, and displacement.
