On se cherche
Year: 2021-2022
Medium: chemicals on light-sensitive photo paper, photography
This group of work experiments with chemigram, lumen prints and
photography. The touch, the entry, the stay, and the escape of the
chemicals, whisper the raw traces of plants, mountains, and rivers, exposing the memory of light with the temporality of trauma and
dreamscape, which appears as a therapeutic cycle and spiritual language
between painting and photography.
