Solo exhibition at Phoenix Gallery, Leicester, UK (September 2018). Four-channel video installation.
Lost you for a sec is a collaboration between Sam Pardes (New York, USA), EunJi Sung (Seoul, South Korea) and Paul Hughes (Nottingham, UK).
Meeting through sprawling fortnightly Skype sessions – full of stupid jokes and technological stutters – this collaboration experimented with the choreographies and materiality of digital communication.
Through performances of presence, attention and distraction, Lost you for a sec is a critical and self-reflective interrogation of 21st century friendship and expression, that reconsiders the capacity of digital technologies to understand ourselves and one another.
