| Description |
An intimate artwork for one audience member, Shell Game places you at the nexus of the Spratly Islands, a geopolitical flashpoint where international shipping, mango exports and the odd K-pop star have all been caught up in the maelstrom. A barren assortment of rocks, shoals, cays and reefs in the South China Sea, these 100-odd islands have received little attention to date – but now several countries with overlapping territorial claims are realising their strategic importance. Using tarot-like cards to represent each island, participant and artist together explore and predict possible future |
