View Finder

Viewfinder is a two-person exhibition featuring artists Chenxi Gao and Jae-Eun Suh. Artists use the viewfinder as a tool to frame, crop, and ultimately find the composition that is close to their heart. Rather than a still life or a scene, Gao and Suh both look at their memories thoughtfully through the viewfinder. What they see and choose reflects their current situation and feelings. The artists incorporate their surroundings and turn the banal, everyday space into abstract places and collection of different moments. Through connecting the past with the present, artists seek to lift up the values of the overlooked elements and reconnect the broken and faded bond.
