Cheng Chia Tun Manuscripts is grounded in archives, geographic roaming, and image-based intervention. It centers on a sketchbook secretly produced by Dutch Major General H.J.D. de Fremery while imprisoned in a Japanese POW camp in Cheng Chia Tun, Northeast China. His drawings depict the forced transfers and camp life he experienced, as he was moved from Southeast Asia to a network of POW camps across Northeast Asia. Following the geographic clues embedded in the sketches, the artist will retrace key nodes of the route, gathering images of post-military landscapes, ruins, colonial infrastructures, and everyday life, which will activate visual evidence suspended between two languages, narrative systems, and archival institutions, re-inscribing this  overlooked wartime geography into contemporary visual and historical consciousness. 

The project is funded by the Mondrian Foundation, CBK Rotterdam, and the One Way Street Foundation.

“郑家屯手稿”是一个基于档案图像、地理漫游与影像介入的艺术研究项目，围绕1945年前后荷兰少将 H.J.D. de Fremery 在中国东北郑家屯战俘营中秘密绘制的速写手稿展开。这些图像描绘了他作为日军战俘从东南亚到东北战俘营之间的流徙与营地经历。艺术家将重访该路线的重要节点，沿途采集后军事风景、废墟、殖民遗产与当下日常的影像，激活悬置于两种语言、叙事系统与档案制度之间的视觉证据，重新书写这段被遗落的战争地理。

该项目由荷兰蒙德里安基金会、CBK鹿特丹、单向街基金会资助。
