About : Song, Kun

Statement

I am driven by moments that resonate with me from daily encounters, capturing reflections that range from mundane subtleties to pivotal news. These reflections often germinate into concepts for my work, where I explore and create a liminal space and a nebulous realm. This exploration is achieved through photography, meta and post photography extensions and interventions, sometimes incorporating text, montage, video, performance, sound, objects, and installations.

Themes of memory, identity, and diaspora are central to my narrative. I am particularly drawn to the intricate dynamics between image, faith, and contemporary shifts, with a keen interest in the impacts of modern technology, such as artificial intelligence, on our personal, cultural, historical, and collective identities, as well as the future that lies beyond.
