‘Collapsing space
and time of over
a decade of her
artistic practice,
the artist asks,
“What does it mean
to reset in times
such as these?”’
Born:
1971, Seoul,
South Korea.
Based:
New York City,
United States.
‘Begin Where
You Are’:
For her first solo
exhibition in South
Korea, Yi showcases
a series of works
that recall moments
spent in the Amazon
rainforests of Brazil
and along the bubbling
algae-covered
coastlines of California,
before returning to
our present reality of
machine and screen-
mediated existence.
“Yi blends aspects
of synthetic and
industrial life with
entropy, sensuality,
and abjection, all
infused with a bright
and playful palette
that hints toward the
stubborn resilience
of life, even amidst
global cataclysm...”
