Vangi Fong Presents: "Chuen Lung Seed-graphy"
For centuries, the landscape of Chuen Lung has borne witness to the stories of its settlers — from the days they tamed wild terrain to cultivate tea and rice, to their tireless perseverance in growing watercress. Together, these moments reveal the journey through which an interdependence between land and people has been forged.
Seeds may represent only a small fraction of the landscape, yet they embody the birth of local culture and serve as vessels of memory. Chuen Lung Seed-graphy gathers local seeds from the region, unveiling the intricate relationships between villagers’ farming practices, native crops, and the surrounding ecology. Through this collection of seeds, we trace both the deliberate and inadvertent processes of selection, exploring how existing plant varieties have reflected the distinctive taste of Chuen Lung. Carried by birds, rivers, and wind, wild seeds take root, weaving another layer of untamed landscape amidst the undergrowth.
This project uses planting as a entry point for dialogue. The diversity of seeds reflects the transformations of human life and encourages the sharing of Chuen Lung’s natural resources with the wider public. Where do roots come from? It all begins with a seed. Where will roots grow? Through sharing, they extend outward.
