Of Disappearance

In Chun’s work, one central concern is the critical reflections on changes that digital culture is having on societies and individuals. While many of us enjoy staying “closer together” online, it is not uncommon to see an increase of anxiety, depression, FOMO and isolation that come with excessive use of online social media and decreased degree of real-life interaction. This set of canvas paintings titled “Black Mirrors” invites viewers to reflect on our relationships to the cold, shiny screens of our digital gadgets, through which we stay connected on social media, and how they have changed our relationships with people in real life. These paintings reflect on how our digital and real life coexist but in a somewhat competitive relationship to each other. The small canvas painting offset to its larger counterpart acts to reinforce the element of alienation on both physical and psychological level. Feelings of togetherness and omission are simultaneously present in “Black Mirrors”.

This work examines the nature of the person with Alzheimer's through the presence of the body in the vacuum of space
With the absence of memory. As the details of the place fade with time from the memory of the injured person, they are exposed to
Memory is to damage and erase memories and features, leaving a trail of existence.

From the series ABSENTE-SER “Ab”, Spanish prefix that means “deprivation, separation from the exterior, from a limit”. Absente-ser it’s a  photographic project made during the lockdown, which, seeks to locate and re-locate the body inside the space and the digitality, transforming the being in fragments and relating it to the absence, using edition,  superposition, subtraction or substitution of elements, generating collage-like images, that way achieving  to see between the division of one world and another, worlds conformed by a series of multinarratives which have been affected with the passing of time. Ab = separation. Esse = be. Absence. “Abesse”, be separation?

The series “Unlearned Landscapes”, seeks to question the landscape not as a phenomenal entity, but as a concept. Understanding the concept of landscape as an idea that is projected on a physical environment, results in a primary need for approaching comprehension for this aesthetic exercise. As a human product, it’s clear that this concept manifests in diverse languages, however, parts from the same principle, which is why, this project covers, not just the Hispanic language, but also its multiple variants in other languages. The formal presentation of these written concepts, seeks to give a first step towards formal reflection of them.
