Cling

Cling was shot in double exposure rendering the living environment to international students in London. The transparent nature of this work was made possible with multiple layers of opaque images overlapping each other.

Cling was exhibited in Renters! by Arts Student’s Union

The boundaries of photographs were blurred with everyday-used objects fling all the gaps in a living environment, visualizing this crowded, less-of-an-ideal residential space in central London.

As an international student, the idea of home and housing are extended beyond one single space within one single country. The location and space can be stretched along the globe, and each of their meaning mixes and mingles with each other across the student’s timeline of traveling and growth. Their belongingness and identity go along this chaotic journey as their understanding of who they are and who they represent changes and evolves with the place they reside.
