About The Guest

Parker McComb (b. 1990) is a visual artist and graduate of Parsons School of Design. Originally from Sarasota, Florida, he is currently based in Seoul after nearly a decade in New York City. His practice reflects a transnational sensibility shaped by the shifting dialogue between environments and the experiences they draw in. Working across photography, objects, and installation, McComb explores intersections of identity, emotion, and the human experience. Through his work, he constructs frameworks where ambiguity and clarity coexist, revealing contradictions and emotional undercurrents within a visual language that feels both familiar and surreal. Lens-based and conceptual elements invite introspection, tracing the contours of memory, desire, and emotional tethering. Working within the space between the physical and the perceptual, he embraces fluidity, situating the work between the intimate psyche and collective reality, where meaning unfolds as multiplicity rather than singularity.

About The Talk

"This talk reflects on the evolution of my artistic practice during the eight years I have lived and worked in Seoul, how I ended up here in the first place, and how my work has expanded across photography, installation, and sculptural forms in response to my experience living abroad. It will highlight key projects including Facing: Identities, Ripple Effect, Liminal Paradise: Still Life is a Surreal Dream, and HYDROHALO, as well as my collaborations with Floor Gallery."
