LIVES AND WORKS IN SEOUL, KOREA
Seo Young Chang employs the moving image as a proxy for the body in her multimedia installations, exploring the relationship between the body and time. Her current interest is in the way disease and aging can shift perceptions of space-time, as well as how this shifted space-time is fed back into the body. Through wordplay, contradiction, and metaphor, her works traverse virtual and physical realms, moving in and out of the body and across the uncharted timescape between life and death. In her installations, viewers are invited to face their own corporeal existence. Chang has presented a number of solo exhibitions, including ‘Skid’ (Sindoh Art Space), ‘A Blinding Future’ (Amado Art Space), and ‘beginning to end at the beginning’ (Doosan Gallery Seoul), and has participated in group exhibitions at Buk-Seoul Museum of Art, MMCA Korea, and the Seoul Museum of Art, among others.
