Play is a photo series representing Vietnamese female students and an anomalous "Bubble Shooter" on Northern Vietnamese roads, is featured in the book, Contemporary Photography in Asia. According to the book: "Referencing images of the heroic working class found in North Vietnamese socialist propaganda paintings, the Play series explores the unlikely relationship between contemporary youth culture and socialist ideology. Play attempts to question the relevancy of past ideology within the context of new utopian visions and pop culture obsessed youths. It examines the slippages between Vietnam's wartime rhetoric and its present shift towards consumer culture.

In 2011, Chung was one of 63 artists from 30 countries included in the Singapore Biennale, titled "Open House". Her contribution, stored in a jar: monsoon, drowning fish, color of water, and the floating world was a mixed media-installation, "a miniature model of a floating town" based upon scenes of floating communities of the Mekong Delta and Srinagar, India, and Japan.

Chung was featured in the San Francisco Museum of Art's Six Lines of Flight: Shifting Geographies in Contemporary Art, as one of several artists from six cities with "burgeoning art scenes". The "Six Lines of Flight" depicts the map of San Francisco in the year 1906. According to her, the 1906 fire in San Francisco was one of the most important events of the 20th century. A map represents not just a border for cities and various people, but a depiction of events that affect a group of people.These cities reflect the expansion of art in beyond the global centers of New York City, Paris, London, or Los Angeles, and included Beirut, Lebanon, Cali; Cluj-Napoca, Ho Chi Minh City, Tangier, and San Francisco.
