What’s on my mind?.......
...how do we exist when certainty disappears? Through sculpture, installation, drawing, and found objects, I explore states of being that are continuously constructed through our relationship with materials, space, the body, and time.
About
JUNNY CHUN AU-YEUNG (b. 1991) is a Hong Kong-born artist currently based in Coventry, the United Kingdom. He graduated from Estonian Academy of Arts with a Master’s degree in Contemporary Arts in 2022. Working across sculpture, installation, photography, drawing, and moving image, his practice explores the relationship between belonging, temporality, and states of existence. Through everyday objects, bodily gestures, and spatial interventions, he investigates how individuals locate themselves within the uncertainty.
His earlier works emerged from experiences of migration and questions surrounding the notion of home. Using fragmented furniture, symbols, and dysfunctional objects, he examined how people navigate unfamiliar environments and search for orientation. In recent years, his focus has gradually shifted from geographical belonging to temporal belonging, exploring things that feel familiar yet remain unreachable—including places, memories, imagined futures, and former versions of the self.
His works often inhabit states of suspension, repetition, and incompletion. Through fragmented objects, dysfunctional structures, and everyday materials situated between utility and obsolescence, he seeks to materialise psychological experiences that are difficult to articulate, reflecting on how one understands oneself and one’s relationship to the surrounding world in the absence of clear direction.
For Junny, making art is an ongoing process of dialogue with himself. Recurring traces, doubles, and unfinished gestures appear throughout his work as both temporal counterparts and companions generated through prolonged encounters with solitude.
Rather than seeking answers, his practice dwells within a transitional space constructed by consciousness itself. Situated between familiarity and estrangement, movement and stagnation, past and future, his work continues to explore how one might coexist with oneself in a condition where return is impossible and arrival remains out of reach.
