Sojung Jun’s newest work, Syncope (2023), premiering in the UK, opens up a three-chapter screening programme at Tate Modern. Presented alongside two mid-length video works, Treasure Island (2014) and Ghost Forest Flower (2022), Syncope furthers Sojung Jun’s enquiry into the realm of sound. In the filmmaker’s words, “sound becomes a (metaphorical) element that illuminates unseen existences in society”. Grouped together, the three films embrace the concept of overtone. When a note is played, we at times get the sensation of hearing other frequencies (overtones) above the lowest.
The screening event includes the artist’s introduction and conversation with the artist and the curator at Tate, Valentine Umansky.
