"The first work encountered, Chan-kyong Park's 'Citizen's Forest,' is a black-and-white, three-channel projection that spans the length of the room. Across each channel, groups of figures wander repeatedly through the same forest, performing rituals rooted in traditional shamanic practices."
"Though the scenes feel intense and disorienting, their eventual convergence reveals a shared space, mirroring how individual memory connects to collective consciousness, and how tradition can be used to recover cultural identity amid political turmoil."
"In conversation with Park, Jane Jin Kaisen's 'Wreckage and Offering' shows two side-by-side videos filmed off Jeju Island, one overlaid with US propaganda."
The MASI Lugano museum opened 'K-NOW! Korean Video Art Today,' featuring eight Korean artists. The exhibition highlights the use of video to explore historical memory, technology, and performance. Artists born between the 1970s and 90s reflect South Korea's transition to democracy and digital culture. The works resist stylistic cohesion but share a common theme of experiencing a changing world. The exhibition connects contemporary Korean art to global cultural narratives, resonating with themes of political violence and identity recovery.
