Artist Statement
Jungruo Cheng loves paying attention to ordinary things. Cheng wanders and observes. Daily observation is the biggest part of Cheng’s practice. Documenting what Cheng sees inspires them. Cheng likes recomposing daily objects into new forms and logics. These objects lose their original functions, and become nonsense, but they are created to mean something. This is the poetry of modernist matter.
The work is not only about the objects themselves but also about what we observe through them and how it reflects on the larger system which is hidden behind our daily life. By indicating the ordinary things, Cheng’s hope is that viewers start to pay more attention to what is happening around them.
