"I am interested in how the ideas of agency and power regulate our private and individual freedoms. Through my experiences in the Korean military, I was forced to live in an environment of intense control that seemed to parallel social mechanisms. This has served as a catalyst for much of my ongoing artistic inquiry. What is the nature of invisible forces, both social and political, that act upon individuals? How do specific control systems impose themselves on democratic ideals? I am using the body as the site for this intensive investigation of the individual and the collective."
Merge. "A reflection of a half body merges with another reflected half body and completes one body. As the models begin to walk back and forth, a mixture of sex and scale creates man-woman, woman- woman, and an unbalanced image of the body." - Bohyun Yoon
Transparent Business Suit. “There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us and not we them; they mold our hearts, our brains, our tongues to their liking.” -Virginia Woolf. Uniforms group people in simplified versions of our social strata and take away our identity and individuality. In my transparent suit, I wanted to break the rigid impositions of the formal suit. Therefore, I juxtaposed the suit of a businessman and the naked body. - Bohyun Yoon
