About Won Cha
In Won Cha's installation practice, the personal and familial become deeply intertwined with the historical, the archival and the political. Lines extend from specific experiences to connect with historical events, figures, structural conditions, methods of survival and sources of pleasure, creating a dense web of nodes rich in overlapping complexity. The artist describes his works as simultaneously existing within and constituting a "site". Like the symbols collected from various cities, spaces and archives that appear and transform in Cha's installations, the artist's sites are protean. There is a sense that the site has been repeatedly constructed and deconstructed, that the site has travelled, picking up traces along the way that change the shape and texture of each incarnation.
