Lung's project Sewing Rebellion[1] has as its goal to break the mass-production cycle of consumer textiles, and involves teaching participants to make and repair clothing.[8] Her project， Made in Haiti (2009-2012) was a collaboration with Haitian tailors to create an alternative to the mass globalized textile market.[8]
Lung has also created performance art under the persona "Frau Fiber," an East German garment worker.[9] Frau Fiber was born in Apolda, Germany in 1966 and worked in garment and machine knitting factories until the fall of the Berlin Wall. Frau Fiber takes inspiration from the folk character John Henry; knitting or sewing by hand against faster technology, knowing that ultimately she will fail.[6]
