• Fiona Tan in Sydney ~ Stefan Zebrowski-Rubin

  Published in The Art Blog, March 2010

  Both videos cannot be seen at the same time, the viewer must literally move from a symbolic past to a contemporary present, all while hearing words from history brought to life. Tan asks her viewer to inhabit a complex space, traversing time and space and consequently creating a multiplicity of new meanings.

• Brief Encounter ~ Eleanor Young

  Published in RIBA Journal, October 2007

  ‘I am trying to do the impossible and answer the question, is it possible to imagine a world beyond east and west? Henry is my astronaut. He is in both worlds, in limbo.’ - Fiona Tan

• Identity Parade ~ Drusilla Beyfus

  Published in Telegraph Magazine, 20 January 2007

  Much of Tan’s work is concerned with remixing existing images in a manner that gives the result an ethnographic kick. Rediscovered photographic portraiture, for example, is the key to her video installation The Changeling

• Films for people who don't like video art ~ Marcus Field

  Published in The Independent, October 2006

  Another video maker who knows how to grab our attention is the Indonesian artist Fiona Tan. Of the new works in her current show, two pieces stand out. The Changelingis a two-channel work in which, one by one, around 200 vintage sepia images of Japanese schoolgirls appear on the first screen while on a second screen, a single inscrutable face of a girl is picked out.

• Who's who at London Frith Street Gallery ~ Rowan Kerek

  Published in bbc.co.uk online, September 2006

  Fiona Tan’s video installation, The Changeling, is elegantly simple, deceptively so. Caught up in a fictional woman’s musings you’re cast into her memories of being one of these quiet-looking tidy girls, any of them; does it matter which?

• As exciting as daytime TV ~ Laura Cumming

  Published in The Observer, September 2006

  Tan’s art is beautiful, pensive and almost exclusively in the form of portraits that take, unusually for this often clueless medium, a genuine interest in the humanity of the subjects.
