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agencies, drawing attention to the shifting and withdrawn nature of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.
