Melissa Tun Tun

Nominee 2016

«Subjective Constancy: Location», 2016

Position comes with an identification method – a code. The code is present to help ordering, to make clear divisions, boundaries and definitions.
It provides a way to clarify things to make them more fluidly transmittable. Codification is about being in control of the form on a symbolic level.
In Subjective Constancy: Location (there is no such a thing as a center) Melissa Tun Tun addresses the question of position and posture in an orchestration of perspectives where what is to be identified relies on a coordinate system in constant movement.
Position is a geographic term and posture a corporeal term. Both are intrinsically related to the body and so bodies will be our only landmarks, our only points of references, for our complicity and our judgement. Between metaphor and embodiment. Let us abstractly encounter illusions all together. In rhythm.
