Carla Chan | Clouded White – Pink Blue, 2018

For HOT MESS, Carla Chang will be presenting “Clouded White – pink blue”, a work in a series of prints. The works in the series “Clouded White” are comprised of glue screen-printed on paper, which has then been partially covered with carbon powder. This process reveals the glue-images whilst simultaneously capturing the motion of the powder across the paper, freezing a moment in time.

Chan’s recent works focus on the digital representation of the natural world. Fusing the poetics of both nature and digital technologies, her installations create virtual spaces of contemplation. Minimal in style, Chan’s works blend physical and digital elements bridging a hybrid form of materiality which blurs the boundaries between reality and illusion, figure and abstraction. 

Carla Chan (b. 1989 in Guangdong) is a media artist from Hong Kong and currently based in Berlin. She works with a variety of media including video installation, interactive media, virtual and augmented reality, of which the time-based medium through computational processes is vital to her practice. Much like the never-ending development of new technologies, her approach to media art challenges conventional perception. She obtained her Bachelor of Arts Degree from the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong. Chan was awarded the prestigious TOY BERLIN MASTERS AWARD 2017.
