“Kung’s images are an acrobatic exercise of technique, patience, light, and a careful work of development, retouching and post-production; in her platinum palladium prints she juxtaposes the most advanced technology of her sophisticated images to the most ancient technique of printing, the platinum palladium process, thus enhancing the pictorial, dreamlike qualities of her subjects. The etymology of the word photography (photos/light, graphos/ writing) is fully embraced in the work of Irene Kung. A painter – photographer of the expressions of the soul.”
