Lang Fang Chronicles Redux
2015Berliln-based Singaporean artist Choy Ka Fai investigates the possibility that long before Sang Nila Utama’s sighting of ‘Merlion’ and the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles, a small republic known as the Lan Fang Republic, founded by Hakka Chinese in West Borneo, had ruled our island for 107 years.

The fold-out cover page was designed to show the entirety of Lan Fang Republic’s 107 years of existence through a heavily worded timeline, while the reverse page shows the map of the republic and its citizens’ migration from and around the island. 

A black-and-white colour scheme was selected to reaffirm that this republic’s existence was not a myth but a truth that was purposefully kept under covers, hidden from Singaporeans.
