The Shadow Lands Yonder is a collaborative research-based work by Hong Kong artist Lee Kai-Chung and Japanese artist Isaji Yugo. The project centers in Manchuria in the early twentieth century, a time of massive population displacement driven by war colonisation as the Qing empire collapsed and a new nation was still in the making. Based on historical records and memoirs, Lee reconstructs a seven-day time period with video and creative writing, re-enacting the psychological changes and conflicts of the refugees during the long journey of escape and repatriation.
