Abstract:
Intersemiotic relations offer a dynamic lens for understanding contemporary art by revealing how different sign systems interact and generate meaning across artistic disciplines. This approach transforms art interpretation from a static to a fluid, interconnected experience, exposing the complex networks of signification that emerge when creative languages dialogue and translate across mediums.
About the Speaker:
Enoch Cheung is an interdisciplinary artist who explores photography and imaging. His ongoing project, “Pseudo Something,” combines curatorship and art-making to explore different medium perspectives. He also delves into the intricate landscape of artistic works and academic disciplines, decoding contemporary art through the lens of intersemiotic relations.
His recent project “That-has-been” explores the concept of “pseudo memory” through an investigation of the Kowloon Walled City. In this solo exhibition, he combines drawing techniques with oral history, interviews, photographic archives, and personal childhood memories to reconstruct the cultural landscape of this historically significant site.
Enoch obtained his Ph.D. in Translation, Interpreting and Intercultural Studies at HKBU. He also obtained B.A. and M.F.A. (Painting) from the RMIT University, Australia, M.F.A. (Interactive Media and Environment) at Frank Mohr Institute of Hanze University, the Netherlands and M.A. (Fine Art) at University of Arts London.
