Rebuilt, 2009
Collaboration with Amy Green
7+Fig Art Space, Los Angeles, CA
Using construction materials such as wood, plexiglas panels, paint and tape, in addition to photographs and videos, Amy Green and Kyungmi Shin created an imaginary landscape inspired by sci-fi movies, manga (Japanese comics and graphic novels), and utopian architecture. Bringing together static and moving imagery, Green and Shin created a fantastical world that is in flux and in-between states of being built and deconstructed. Their installation played with a notion of a paradise that is part imaginary and part real that allows for entropy and flux in isolated or fixed systems.
