Parzellierung: Sung Tieu bei Trautwein Herleth

In her solo exhibition Perfect Standard at Trautwein Herleth, Sung Tieu examines the infrastructural and bureaucratic control mechanisms of the colonial era, particularly in the former colony of French Indochina. Our author Kat Ripea reflects on how the German-Vietnamese artist reveals the latent connections between metrication, economic exploitation, and the persistence of colonial trauma.
