John Young: The History Projects
John Young
Between 2005 and 2019, Hong Kong-born Australian artist John Young Zerunge created 11 art series which he called 'The History Projects'.
This book is a critical guide to this expansive body of artworks, which explore diasporic memory, transcultural identity, and what Young describes as an 'ethical responsibility' towards the past.
Featuring more than 400 images, and a wide variety of texts including new essays and interviews, key republished articles, poetry, artist reflections, and diary pages this book is a definitive reference for Young's transformative recent practice and its urgent reckoning with history as unfinished business.
