Artist Lap-See Lam's work uses different technologies from Virtual Reality to 3D scanning to produce digital installations that reproduce the interiors of Chinese restaurants in the artist’s native Stockholm. As a second generation Swedish-Cantonese artist, Lam reflects upon how these spaces are imbued with a richness of meaning as well as stereotyped and fetishised visions. The subject has appeared in various iterations in recent years, with both Mother’s Tongue (2018) and Phantom Banquet (2019-2020) forming part of an ongoing series of work that negotiates layered immigrant experience in Sweden, weaving together the personal and the mythical. Her work considers notions of belonging, as she examines heritage, metaphorical spaces, time, technological and cultural clashes and the Cantonese diaspora in Sweden.
