Sophie Jung’s practice addresses representation and its pitfalls, both culturally as a system of disguised and shifting signs and personally as a way to track and record life. She regularly negotiates between form and affect, pragmatism and romance, between scrutinizing accuracy and magical awe.
 She has a deep trust in temporary definition, plays with concepts and notions packed into words, objects or facial expressions, shifting their assumed meaning from work to work or sentence to song. Her position is on the apronproscenium, the pre-stage, as a fluid messenger between reception and production of timelined Purport. . Her work is strict, slick and abstract as well as emotionally involved, performative and overly literal, be it video, performance, sculpture, text or photography.
