Here, Then
2022-2023
The immediacy of a space being seen reveals a quality of its “having-been here.” A photograph provides existential proof of how a place comes into being and disappears.
“Here, Then” is an experiment that enlarges time-space, using mylar surfaces as a canvas and ink as material to reconstruct the photographs. The tangible images of different scenes dissolve into numerous biomorphic lines, contours and chunks of watery ink, leaving feathered, blurry clouds of chaotic, rambling patterns on the original print, until everything is washed away. Through the shifting of the medium that physically transforms the concrete tangible to an ethereal intangible, time is visualize, preserve and re-constructed as a new lineartic structure of chronology that embodies the "here-now" and "there-then" in the categories of time and space in my blended cultural identity.
