HAN Anna SoYoung

A new place doesn’t give me a fear, rather it stimulates me despite of my history of moving around in new places. Making my own place in a new place was a process of part of my nomadic life. This process is coming through my installation work. Installation is from the inspiration in the given place in geometric visual language with vinyl, inkjet prints, fabric, and lights. The ‘wall’ is important elements in the idea of interior and exterior which defines space and place against void. The repetition of trapezoid shape in which it indicates wall is shown in installation and painting. The reinterpreted spatial installation work in a given space leads the audience their own experience within the space, like Ando Tadao referred, the place where it experiences as a space could only understandable by experiencing it.
