The Obsidian Isle is a significant new body of work for Chong Kwan which documents a fictional island located off the west coast of Scotland, on which reside one country’s lost and destroyed buildings and places.

Presented as an installation of large-format photographs and sculptural works, The Obsidian Isle explores ideas of collective history, national identity, landscape, and tourism through the prism of the senses and the distortion of memories.
