Through video, drawing, sculpture, sound, installation, and publications, Jesse Chun’s multidisciplinary practice critically engages with the politics of language. Mobilizing staunch research through conceptual frameworks, Chun manifests new and intentional (mis)translations of the poetic, the opaque, and even the untranslatable. In her projects, Chun often incorporates found bureaucratic documents, as well as the hierarchies and histories of language. In an effort to undermine colonial narratives and subvert linguistic imperialism, Chun’s work reimagines the hegemony of language in order to reveal and consider alternative lexicons.
