Kun Song

Photography (MA)

About

Kun Song is an artist based in the UK. He is driven by moments that resonate from daily encounters, capturing reflections that range from mundane subtleties to pivotal news. These reflections often germinate into concepts for his work, where he explores and creates a liminal space and a nebulous realm. This exploration is achieved through photography, meta and post-photography extensions, and interventions, sometimes incorporating text, montage, moving image, performance, sound, objects, machine learning coding algorithms, and installations.

Themes of memory, identity, and diaspora are often explored in his work. He is particularly drawn to the intricate dynamics between image, faith, and moving materiality, with a keen interest in the impacts of modern technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI), on our personal, cultural, historical, and collective memories and unconsciousness, as well as the future that lies beyond.
