Uncanny Woven Portraits by Jason Chen Splice Two Moments in Time
about 5 months ago (12/14/2023)
Rather than capture a single moment, Jason Chen ( previously ) weaves together photographs taken just seconds apart, creating disjointed portraits that convey movement and the passage of time. The Philadelphia-based artist often splices snapshots of the same setting and subject with slight differences in the tilt of the head, gesture, or gaze. Laced into a grid or hypnotizing circle like a photographic tapestry, the resulting images are uncanny and disorienting, nodding to fragmented identities and skewed perceptions of the self and others.
