Participating Artist

Ligyung

Ligyung-more Light is the solo show of a mid-career artist Coreana Museum of Art has chosen and supported.

Ligyung remains unrivalled in installation work addressing philosophical thoughts on humanity and society instead of sensuous spectacle and amusement. In this show featuring a huge installation work taking up the entire space with video and sound, the artist presents a space of floating light. The concept of light has been a significant theme in her work since the early 2000s. In her previous work, light was the medium paradoxically revealing the incompleteness of the human eye trusting all it sees and confirming the existence of darkness whereas in this exhibition the artist pays more attention to phenomena that can be seen and felt here and now with the physical senses. Ligyung’s heterogeneous, floating space of light brimming with emotion and libido is a metaphor for a human division and the present age dominated by anxiety.
