Splinter, Hong Kong Artist Mark Chung’s third solo exhibition will open at Rossi & Rossi on July 29th, 2023. Through a series of new installations and video works, Chung continues his autobiographical practice and attempts to translate the complex psychology in the uncomfortable aftermath of dramatic changes. The exhibition brings to light the cognitive dissonance between make-believe and disillusioned reality. The title of the exhibition references the long and painful process one must go through when a splinter punctures a body – it is either forcefully ejected from the body, or absorbed in as new tissue growth envelops the intrusive foreign object.
