Remnants: One Day We'll Understand by Sim Chi Yin
View through Artsy
Sim Chi Yin’s work 'One Day We’ll Understand' takes us on a cinematic journey through traces of hidden histories. The ethereal landscapes, 'Remnants', the artist conjures are an unspoken archive of an undeclared war. Sim’s photographs of dark water – quiet or swirling, sometimes in sharp focus, sometimes blurred – take on metaphorical significance. Sim Chi Yin gives an idea of what is hidden beneath the surface; she acts against repression, creates space for the return of memory.
