Hugo Chang Coffey’s praxis revolves around otherness, transformations, ties and disconnections. Through visual arts and mixed media he aims to convey the entanglements between people, land and systems.
In his works he explores folklore and speculative fiction as a technology to imagine other realities. Working with borderlands he merges digital, physical and emotional landscapes into a joint imagery.
