Edge-North Atlantic Ocean
Edge — North Atlantic Ocean explores the boundary between sea and land. Negatives are submerged in seawater, allowing salt and minerals to react during development. The images become physical traces of natural processes, where time is not only depicted but materially embedded.
About Artist
Hsuan Chung
Hsuan Chung is a Taiwanese artist and photographer based in Georgia, United States, whose work investigates photography as both image and material evidence. Working primarily with film and process-driven interventions, Chung explores thresholds between landscape, identity, and time—where memory appears through residue, absence, and transformation. Chung received an MFA in Photography from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and holds a BA in Mass Communication from I-SHOU University in Taiwan. Their practice is informed by experience across photojournalism and exhibition production, including work as a photojournalist for United Daily News in Taiwan and as Preparator and Lead Installer at Jackson Fine Art Gallery in Atlanta. Using long exposure, constructed gesture, and material collaboration with natural elements—including seawater-soaked negatives—Chung treats uncertainty as a generative force within photographic time. Chung is the author of Formosa Aborigines (2019), held in permanent collections including the Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Resource Center, the National Central Library, National Taiwan University Library, and SCAD’s ACA Library, and has received recognition from awards such as BIFA, MUSE, and IPA.
