Nadim Abbas & Tap Chan (NaP)
Nadim Abbas’ practice examines the mercurial properties of images and their ambiguous relationship with reality. Referencing a diverse range of subjects - from bunker archaeology to otaku subcultures - he instills generic forms with unfamiliar associations, in an attempt to describe the “invisible violences” that permeate seemingly innocuous facets of everyday life.
Tap Chan's works mostly appear in the form of installations, videos and sculptures. She is interested in exploring the idea of liminality that is embedded in daily life, where the boundaries between fiction and reality are often blurred, like the undefined psychic and emotional ruptures experienced during bouts of insomnia. To construct a narrative of the subterranean mind that rumbles beneath the facade of modern existence.
