HyeKyong Yun

Vernissage: Friday, November 14th, 2008, 5 to 8 pm

This exhibition is an objectification of HyeKyong's self-portraiture onto other subjects. Its focus is on Asian males in their twenties; not yet men, but no longer boys. Through their culture and upbringing, they are taught to repress their feelings, to appear emotionless. This is in sharp contrast with their natural state as they are passing through an especially chaotic time in their lives. The loss of communication between the human being and the environment that surrounds him as he searches for his identity is exposed by the subject's melancholy: a deep emptiness in his facial expression and gesture as he interacts with the world around him.
