Description

CAMOC is pleased to present the first Spotlight Artist of 2025, Linye Jiang with Undisclosed Location.

In this installation, Jiang’s work is a love letter to photography, focusing on overlooked, peripheral details in the landscape rather than grand, iconic scenes—poetic fragments that feel personal and familiar. By stepping into the frame and re-photographing their own work, the artist challenges the invisibility often expected of photographers, occupying the space between observer and participant. “Undisclosed locations—private, unmarked, and unseen—exist because I chose to withhold them,” and offer here a quiet inquiry into absence, visibility, and the complex relationship between self and landscape.
