Carla Chan

Born 1989, Chan lives and works in Berlin and Hong Kong. She obtained her Bachelor of Arts Degree from the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong. She works with a variety of media including video, installation, photography and interactive media. Much like the never-ending development of new technology Chan considers media art as a medium with infinite possibilities for artistic expression. Minimal in style and form, her recent work focuses on ambiguity in nature.

Description: Chan uses both the physical and digital to create her striking pieces, often starting with still images of vast mountain ranges captured in darkness. When the eyes, the organic, fail to see, the digital camera captures the hidden framework of the nocturnal landscape. The artist then balletically pours natural elements such as iron or carbon across the images before dynamically shaking the residue free. The resultant works at once capture the energy of the process of creation and the stillness of the landscape: The grainy memory of the expanse.
