Seong Chun's obsessive sculptures, constructed from paper, crochet, and thread are embedded with almost subliminal text. Words are printed onto the surface of the paper, which is then painstakingly and elaborately stripped, joined, and folded to make "spools" of paper yarn. Chun employs texts such as Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities and Gaston Bachelard's The Poetics of Space to contemplate the infinite permutations of memory and ideas that challenge truths and actualities of past experiences.
The obsessiveness of these works seems to examine unaccountable time. They are an attempt to assign meaning and reason to many seemingly nonsensical fetishized moments hidden in the interiors of our routines. |
