It’s a Heaven Over There. Samson Young. Installation. 2019.

It’s a heaven over there marks celebrated Hong Kong artist Samson Young’s first solo exhibition in Canada. Held in Vancouver’s Chinatown, Young searches for utopia in this exhibit staging his vision of global retrotopianism and diasporic imagination. Originating from his archival research on Won Alexander Cumyow, the first Chinese person born in Canada, this  multimedia installation consists of works on paper, archival materials and animated music videos on the shifting modern cosmopolitan nation-state. 

Samson Young is a Hong Kong based composer and sound and media artist. He holds a PhD in Music Composition from Princeton University and has collaborated with multiple bands and orchestras worldwide. Having received cross-cultural training in music composition, Young combines image and sound to form symphonic artworks of identity, war and literature. He has showcased his works in various group and solo exhibitions, participated in multiple music festivals and was the recipient of several awards.

A normal heart weighs 350g. Consider living without one. Organs migrate, have new roles. Kidneys pumping blood, pancreas counting pulses, fluidity of grief sluicing forth and back with lymph – it’s called evolution. The Chinese eat animal viscera, shapes supplementing shapes. Grilled duck hearts on skewers, each a pendant, edible confinement. What’s locked in the four chambers if not sufferance crispy, sauced, stories otherwise too cooked to be told. Leave the heart to the past and the past to a museum, 3/F, west wing, where it finds its neighbors, all ill of systole. The hall savaged by legato vibrato, a sound- scape narrating the pain of being caged too long by ribs. Long too are the ribs, curving inward like brackets to brace less and loss.

Museum of Anagapesis by Nicholas Wong (黃裕邦). 2012.

Writing in English, his second language, Hong Kong poet Nicholas Wong has made a name for himself publishing poetry as well as translating poems from Chinese to English. Wong’s work often tackles issues of race, sexuality, and gender, and his 2015 collection, Crevasse, won the Lamda Literary Award in 2016, an award granted to emerging LGBTI voices worldwide.

千山鳥飛絕，萬徑人蹤滅。 孤舟蓑笠翁，獨釣寒江雪。 A thousand mountains, no sign of birds in flight; Ten thousand paths, no trace of human tracks. In a lone boat, an old man, in rain hat and straw raincoat, Fishing alone, in the cold river snow.

River Snow (江雪) by Liu Zongyuan (柳宗元). Tang Dynasty. 

Liu Zongyuan is a prominent Chinese poet and writer who lived during the Tang Dynasty. He is recognized for his prose writing as one of the Eight Masters of the Tang and Song (唐宋八大家). Along with writer Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan was a founder of the Classical Prose Movement, in which he advocated for a clear and precise writing style. 

Liu Zongyuan was sent into exile during his civil service career, during which he was able to focus on growing his writing. It was then, in Yongzhou, that he wrote River Snow. The poem paints a scene of winter, as well as themes of isolation and perseverance. When read in Middle Chinese, the first, second, and fourth lines rhyme.
