Summary
Countenance holds in tension themes central to Tan's work. Drawing on August Sander's vast photographic project Citizens of the Twentieth Century (1910-1964), in which he attempted to capture a social portrait of Germany, Tan created around ninety minutes of filmed portraits of some two hundred and fifty citizens of Berlin ... For her exhibition, Countenance (2002) is alongside News from the Near Future (2003), a meditation on water, time and memory, and Vox Populi (2004), a photographic installation of photographs from family albums collected by Tan in Norway.
