"Văn Lang: reparations to the land of the tattooed" is a performance that offers reparations towards Văn Lang (the land of the tattooed)in the context of an art fair. With each redistribution made, one letter of tattooing is contributed towards the performance that would ultimately spell out Văn Lang. The performance remains unfinished

This performance demonstrates the focal element of rhythm and music in tattoo traditions. A melody is repeated throughout the ritual. The audience hums along & amplifies the frequencies.
