Happy Father's Day
Fotografia Digitale, Famiglia, 20x16x1cm
My work tells the story of the two sides of my life.
I’ve been using both photography and painting to convey imagery that consists of true and false, reality and fiction. I express opposite ideals (North and South Korea, Apple and Samsung, Korea and America). My artwork shows the utopia of different ideas coexisting together for a better good. In my work two different images are connected by one. For example, my imaginary animation character with real humans or a sculpture of bear highlight issues of communication.
My work is based on things I love like a bears, family, friends, and my national identity. Taking the bear as an example, I made a story which about an American bear. I talk about the American bear and Jenny which is my fantasy character. They are strangers that become friends. I like telling a story using a character in short stop motion format as inspired by Charlie Chaplin movies.
After I married my American husband, I feel more compelled to talk about places in the USA. I want to capture the beautiful landscapes and a great views with my funny alter ego, Blond Jenny. I use a handmade mask of the character of the 1980’s cartoon because Blond Jenny was my fantasy character since childhood. I am now more comfortable with American subject matter because it is my new home and homeland.
