29.5 Days is a project that thematizes tides—oceanic changes in water level generated by the fluctuating gravitational force between the earth and the moon. Chung collects tidal flat soil with traces of water from which she casts glass shapes that are later cast into a mix of tidal flat soil hardened with epoxy. These objects are displayed on shelves in between aluminum plates at intervals that refer to space­time coordinates, creating a landscape where the boundaries of time between land and sea are blurred and reversed. In Chung’s treatment of these objects, they become conglomerates of her practice of collecting and commemorating time and its cycles, as well as the shifting states of the earth, moon, and water that constantly shape coastal territories and landscapes.
