Here, we ask an artist to frame the essential details behind one of their latest works. Bio: Chelsea Ryoko Wong, 38, San Francisco (@chelsearwong)Title of work: A Work That Outlives Me (2024). Where to see it: “Nostalgia for the Present Tense” at Jessica Silverman (621 Grant Ave, San Francisco) until September 7. Because this last year I’ve also been cycling through existential dread, I wanted to live presently and in the moment in Tunis. I read that the word “Tunis” could be derived from the Berber root ens, which means to pass the night.
