Anne Duk Hee Jordan:

The Lost Princess of Mongolia, 2009 – ongoing

(5 channel video, 5 trailers of 2 -5 min)

The Lost Princess of Mongolia is a semi-autobiographical filmic work that combines real and fictional elements of Anne Duk Hee Jordan’s life. Her own personal background and history is a continual red line, which runs through her artistic research. The main conflict that the Princess confronts mirrors her own struggle with not belonging to a single culture or nation. The process of searching and exploring becomes then a life-long journey, in which wandering is a main theme. This atypical documentary is conceived as a series of trailers. In 2009 Jordan started to make the first trailers; her plan is to produce a series of twelve. Thus far, five are completed. The work series runs parallel with her own life path and research.

The Lost Princess of Mongolia is currently on view at The Nanjing International Art Festival (NJIAF), an annual art festival that takes place in Nanjing of the Jiangsu province in China. This year’s theme is SCARCITY AND SUPPLY.
