LATITUDE UNKNOWN
Yunfei Ren’s latest paintings chart shifting geographies of movement, where migration is not a singular event but an ongoing state of transformation. These works function as temporal portals, drawing from the visions of migrants during their voyages—sun, stars, wind, coasts, and waters—inviting viewers into spaces where past and present blur.
As spaces of convergence, these paintings embrace the instability of perception, allowing meaning to shift with each encounter. Forms emerge and recede, echoing the fragmentary nature of memory and the fluidity of migration. Latitude Unknown lingers with these tensions, inviting viewers to step into the visions of Ren’s paintings—histories both personal and collective that continue to accumulate sedimented meanings with time.
