Seekee Chung

     

Seekee Chung's (1979) works are best described as 3-d windows. In a recessed rectangular framework she places cut-out fragments of photographs beside and behind one another. The frame is closed off with frosted glass, rendering the representation diffuse and creating a shrouded depth.For the elements of her representations Seekee Chung searches the Internet.

Frequently these are interiors in which the light is coming in from outside through a window, natural forms of trees and plants and here and there an indication of people. With these elements
she builds a new world looming up from behind the frosted glass as in a dream or like a vague memory. This suggestion is intensified by lightening up the windows from the rear in a subtle,
mysterious light. The subject of her most recent work is a dense mysterious forest around Mount Fuji in Japan.
