And verse (혼잣말의 언어 그리고 cosmos) II is a non­linear moving image poem that pairs a floor projection with rocks, fragments of index pages, and texts on transparent acrylic panels. The projected moving images feature a pond, a score, and a cryptic set of documents that reflect the autonomy and inconsistency of languages and translations, as well as the circumnavigations of celestial bodies that repeatedly rise and fall. Clouds, smoke, annotations, and broken letters compose a vocabulary and grammar that collectively builds a new fractured poetics. Chun’s practice thus inhabits and transcends the sociopolitical contexts of language to reveal the untranslatable inner self and the audible silences of translation and migration.
