COMING SOON – We’re excited to announce the presentation of Sung Tieu’s film ‘Moving Target Shadow Detection’ at FormaHQ.

Wed - Saturdays, 11-5pm
Private view
Join us for the opening and artist conversation with Sung Tieu (@sungtieu) and Sam Thorne (@sdzthorne) on Friday 18 November, 6-9pm.
Sung Tieu’s film ‘Moving Target Shadow Detection’ takes us on a journey through the architecture of the infamous Hotel Nacional de Cuba, where a new form of sonic warfare was born. Back in 2016/17, several US diplomats suffered from inexplicable headaches, pain, ringing ears and cognitive difficulties. These unresolved aggressions were by no means the only instance with similar forms of sonic warfare appearing in China, Europe and Washington D.C.
They became known as the Havana Syndrome — a major theme in Tieu’s practice looking into the psychological dimension of warfare, acoustic weaponry and its relationship to Cold War ideologies.
We’re thrilled to host the first physical presentation of ‘Moving Target Shadow Detection’ in the UK. After its commission for the 2021 Frieze Artist Award in partnership with @friezeofficial, the film toured to @sfeirsemlergallery in Hamburg and @kunstverein.gartenhaus in Vienna and now returns to London.
