Wu Chi-Tsung “jing-atmospheres”

Sean Kelly Gallery

This event has ended.

Sean Kelly presents jing-atmospheres, Wu Chi-Tsung’s first solo exhibition in the gallery and the United States. Chi-Tsung’s innovative body of work encompasses a broad range of media including photography, video, installation, and painting, and combines traditional and contemporary forms and methodologies to explore perceptions of the physical and natural worlds.

Chi-Tsung’s current work seeks to understand how media and technology are manipulated to represent our relationship to the world. In the main gallery, there are new iterations of his Cyano-Collage series, in which he connects Eastern and Western culture and art to integrate traditional aesthetics within a striking contemporary language.

jing-atmospheres will also feature Chi-Tsung’s 2006 immersive film installation, Dust. A camera, positioned at one end of the darkened gallery, has its lens focused on the light of a projector installed at the opposite end of the room. The camera sends a live video signal to the projector, thus recording the reflection of the circulation of dust particles flittering about the space. As viewers progress through the gallery, disrupting the flow of air, the images of flickering dust change constantly and instantaneously. The emerging and hidden images in Chi-Tsung’s work suggests a new relationship between artist and media, image and viewer.

Born in 1981 in Taipei, Wu Chi-Tsung currently lives and works in Taipei, Taiwan and Berlin, Germany. His exhibition will feature new Cyano-Collages, videos, and an immersive film installation.
