Istoria’s Garden

Exhibited at Microscope Gallery, NYC 2024


Installation, 2024
In “Istoria’s Garden,” Chin, whose work is often driven by “a desire to salvage and reconstruct significance from vanishing sites and systems,” evokes the concept of the global garden directing our attention to the natural world at this moment in history. Chin’s new works in multi-channel video installation, ceramic tile, fresco painting, and 16mm film are infused with a profound sense of fragility and of concern for our planet: they not only depict nature, but are imprinted with or contain the traces of organic materials used in their making.
