시: sea is a moving image poem that employs many of Chun’s operating objects, including mirrors, rocks, research notes on mistranslation and other textual ephemera, in a brief introduction to the artists overall work on language’s “other sides.” These dwell on how language powers flow through hegemonic ideas of legibility and abstraction, while experienced life is conducted in fragments.
