Sang Eun’s photo-based works and installations examine the flux of perception in an environment overflowing with visual information. His work explores how images—or reality—are perceived and mediated through layers of distortion, filtering, and fragmentation. By foregrounding the accumulation of discontinuous, non-linear visual experiences, Eun’s work reconfigures the act of looking, inviting viewers to reconsider the shaping of perception and the production of meaning as a form of visual language. Drawing on the notion of a diminished “depth of field,” Eun investigates meaning not as fixed, but as something reconstructed through the continuous interplay of immediacy and latency, clarity and obscurity.
