Jesse Chun

score for unlanguaging is an ongoing series of drawings that fragment and abstract the world's most dominant language/global lingua franca, English to consider other semiotics and cosmologies of meaning. Using a Roman Alphabet stencil, Chun unfixes, layers, and reimagines the existing linguistic structure to map a new constellation. The abstract scores also become activated through performance and collaboration, in which Chun invites other artists and collaborators to interpret the scores through the act of open translation. Through transmission and communing, the score comes to life through movement, sound, voice, and breath.
