YEESOOKYUNG, When I Become You, courtesy Junghwa LEE, 2016

YEESOOKYUNG (Seoul, 1963) – When I Become You Performer: Junghwa LEE / Music: Young Gyu JANG / Costume: Young Seok KIM
Yeesookyung explores the concept of symmetry through a variety of experimental practices that are inspired by Buddhist thought. She paints simultaneously with both hands or uses hypnosis to conduct a spiritual regression session. Her reading of the world is circular, not linear. She speaks of the relationship between the self and others, between perfection and imperfection, the conscious and the unconscious, the real and the virtual. How these opposites relate to each other becomes blurred and diffuse.

YOUNG IN HONG (Seoul, 1972) – Let Us Dance
Coordinator: Inès Hwahaeng Lee
Young In Hong’s inspiration comes from the demonstrations that took place in Seoul in 2008. Teenagers took part in these in large numbers which torpedoed the accepted traditional image of a passive youth. The artist re-contextualizes the event using a flash mob. Her aim is to reveal the unexpected and the creative energy through this device which, far from obscuring social fractures, sheds greater light upon them and in the process, raises questions about the status of the artist and of the work itself.
