I am an installation artist from Korea.My work began with textile arts but has expanded to installations, mainly incorporating diverse media such as fiber, polyester, and black lighting. While preparing for my first exhibit in 1986, I sustained extensive skin burns on my face and body after an explosion of hot paraffin, the medium I was using. Despite the tortuous rehabilitation, I could not stop creating my art and representations of life force.After I relocated to Germany, my longing for human relations led me to create the installation work 'Vanished Berlin Wall' at the Brandenburg Gate. This project included the names of 5,000 Korean separated family members and inspired through my artistic desire and direction

In response to this phenomenon, I installed a giant chair with a group of smaller chairs made of 800s of polyester compartments to break the tie.Family names in different languages are written on each of the small chair to signify the connection between people from different countries, of different languages and different races. Highlighted with special lighting effect, they not only bring unique visual experience, but also provide a platform for visitors to re-examine human relationshipsVanished Berlin Wall, Berlin, 2007When I relocated to Germany, my longing for human relations led me to create the installation work 'Vanished Berlin Wall' in 2007 at the Brandenburg Gate—a symbol of German reunification. This illuminated piece included the names of 5,000 Korean separated family members and drew the attention of major media outlets including the BBC, Reuters, and CNN. Without any social network or German language proficiency, this installation was realized and inspired through my artistic desire and direction. Show less
