Wendi Wang
Artist Bio
Wendi Wang (b.1997, China) is an image maker who primarily works with photographic image. He focuses on temporal properties of general contemporary images, and is also interested in how public experience acts on the way people watch images. His work is about trying to find self-consistent positions between the memories that the body chooses to remember and the memories that have been lost. He is currently practicing making sounds.
Artist Statement
In the context of traditional photography as a documentary medium, people believe that a photograph can catch the moment when it was taken, but this is where it gets frustrating - while you achieve that photograph, the moment you want to record is constantly far away. still image as a medium for conveying information is somewhat indicative, and the information of the image itself is ambiguous aside of the influence of the external environment. In my practice, I use fragmented information to construct a non-linear narrative (also ambiguous), the gulf between the fragments of different ways of existence and character, from which language emerges. But the specific context is fragile and can be easily rewritten or erased.
