Yen Chun Lin is an artist working with immersive soundscape, moving image and speculative science. Her work investigates the ambiguities often devalued by assumed knowledge, situated between rational science and the classification of the unexplainable and supernatural. This moving image work is best experienced with headphones.

 

‘It is so easy to come together and take the streets when people in government take important decisions about your life – why doesn’t it happen more? I think it’s fear that doesn’t let people act in a rational way, which is connected to the history of Russia very tightly. For at least one hundred years people were oppressed, put in prison killed for expressing their opinion on politics publicly.’

Immortal is part of FRAMES of REPRESENTATION 2020 and is available to stream for seven days from 29 November, 4pm GMT.
