I give you Structure of Shadow, an installation by Bohyun Yoon.
“This work is an installation piece in which I present a mix of male and female toy-like rubber figures hung with strings marching in one direction, one after another.”
“Hanging like puppets, the figures portray the idea of a group as opposed to an individual. A simple light and shadow trick is key in this work and becomes a metaphor for invisible power or tricks of politics in our society. When the viewer approaches the work, their weight makes this structure shake and all the figures dance.”
I’m truly amazed by how the doll parts convene into cohesive shadows.
Yoon’s experience in the Korean military inspired him to explore the ideas of agency and power.
“I want to pose a question through my work: how does reality become exquisitely animated by certain control systems such as politics, mass media, advertisement, etc.? Furthermore, I want to reveal how human beings are fragile and delicate in these environments.”
