Artist- Yeondoo Jung, Hyungmin Moon




I talked with Eric today about these two artists who use the portrait photography genre in interesting ways. One project is Bewitched by Yeondoo Jung where he pictured of a person in their usual environment and then another picture of the same person in the same posture but this time he puts the person in a place where he/she wants to be and what he/she wants to be doing. You can see more pictures of this series through the link. In exhibition, these pictures are shown through slide projector one overlapped to the next. 


 Another project is the series 9 objects by Hyungmin Moon. The artist took the pictures of certain objects in a peculiar way and they almost look like advertisements. The work doesn't give the audience any explanation, but these are in fact favorite objects chosen by people around the artist.

Installation view of 9 objects for scale. 


A work by the same artist for your information. The artist erased all the brand names and texts on the products in display. Related to the conversation with Crystal today, the audience gets an immediate discomfort at first sight as he/she may not discover what is happening in this familiar but strange picture, but at a closer look, it is obvious that there are no names on these drugs which we usually look for.
