Land of Joy explores the fragmented, anexact cultural legacy of Manchukuo through motion graphics, challenging the genealogical historiography that traces happenstances to a homogenous root.

It employs solid colours and geometric forms to create value-neutral vignettes. This approach visualizes the heterogeneous, incomplete nature of historical narratives, focusing on the puppet regime period that has been nationalistically tentative.

By animating layers in the five tableaus, the work superimposes literary and theoretical interpretations of lived experiences onto the historical national motto Five Races Under One Union.
