Description of the work
- Media Oil on canvas
- Location 2F, La Seine, LOTTE HOTEL WORLD
Minju Kang’s work navigates the delicate boundary between reality and unreality, often using ambiguous or paradoxical arrangements to blur the lines. Kang’s art is a visual manifestation of her inner world, capturing fleeting emotions and memories that reside beyond conscious awareness.
Though her backdrops depict real-life places and personal travels, Kang’s recollections are not told with accuracy, chronology, or logic. Bottles of Korean berry wine spill into an Egyptian desert, forming puddles of blood. Her compositions appear mundane at first glance but reveal humorous and nonsensical details upon closer inspection, offering an abstract glimpse into her internal monologue.
