See Me, See You

See Me, See You is the world's first-ever retrospective survey of early video installation in Southeast Asia, spanning the early 1980s to the early 1990s. This catalogue traces the journeys and evolving identities of the ten artists featured in the exhibition and their pivotal experiments with the moving image, which variously incorporate readymade objects and cathode-ray tube television monitors as well as performative and participatory elements. Their artworks encapsulate the techniques and materials of their generation and mark the emergence of video installation as a form in the region. The publication features interviews, essays, rare archival images and texts, as well as a timeline that highlights the definitive moments and inventions that propelled video installation in global and regional contexts. 102 colour illustrations
