ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Siyun Sun

by Siyun Sun | September 30, 2024

 

‘City of Angels’

Digital, 84.1×118.9 cm

 

 

I always need to learn, produce, and do something more meaningful than everyday living. I desire the object petit a, the thing I will never reach but forever wander around it. This void I desperately want is only reflected in ordinary behaviour and mundane actions such as learning and remembering, repetitive brushstrokes, and art making, while the stimulant that supports me as a perpetual machine is the desire to reach this void kernel. I dream of becoming angels like Zhuang Zhou in a lucid dream, aware that I am hallucinating, but nonetheless want to be that butterfly forever. I fantasise about becoming it when I wake up, but I never do. I am sleeping underwater.
