Yuen Chee Wai

Yuen Chee Wai’s work explores how image, sound and text can occur spontaneously as symbiotic mental productions. Informed by philosophical interests, his explorations with noise is process-oriented as much as it sculpts both personal and public experiential terrains. Known for his drone/ambient/field recording approaches and live performances, the photographic elements in his installations reflect also on the theme of sound and silence as a visual lens. In encountering a surrounding soundscape, its objects and architecture, imprints of images recur on the mind’s eye, almost as if in stasis.
