About
Suki Chan is a critically-acclaimed artist and filmmaker whose work uses moving image, photography, and sound to explore our perception of reality.
CONSCIOUS brings together different perspectives from scientists and ordinary people which shake up our preconceptions about individual and collective consciousness. Within her wider study of consciousness and perception, the artist worked with people living with dementia to explore how memory loss can destabilise our understanding of the present, while opening up other realities.
The exhibition includes photography, sculpture, virtual reality and three films Memory (2019); Hallucinations (2020) and Fog In My Head (2021), a major commission by Film London.
Memory shows the contrast between geological time and the human lifespan, exploring geological processes and activity in the brain. Hallucinations is an immersive journey into the personal experiences of two people who are living with dementia, shown next to the perspective of two carers.
Chan’s most recent film in the CONSCIOUS series Fog in My Head (FLAMIN commission) contrasts real-world imagery with abstract scientific material. The artist takes the viewer on a sumptuous visual and aural journey: from the centre of a natural beehive, a developing brain, a home, an office and a forest. Connecting these distinct spaces is fog.
