Ka Chun Chung (b. 1986, Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong/ London based artist whose practice explores how objects perform and express through material interplay. His work investigates the entangled relationships among humans, objects, and space, with a focus on memory and anxiety.

Using mundane materials such as hook and loop strips, motors, and abandoned objects, he creates systems of friction and sound to evoke affective resonance and the body’s presence in absence. Through sculptural and kinetic assemblages, Chung examines how objects act not as passive artefacts but as witnesses, actors, and carriers of lived experience, revealing affective attunement. His installations explore contingency within networks of interdependent objects and distributed agencies, drawing attention to the shifting and withdrawn nature of relations.

Chung currently graduated from an MFA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London. He previously studied in Bologna as an exchange student and lived in Berlin for a year, where he focused on expanded painting. Since completing his BA (Hons) in Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University, he has worked as a freelance graphic designer. His work has been exhibited in Hong Kong, Berlin, Athens, and London.
