Her Landscape
Why are there no women in traditional Korean landscape paintings?
<Her Landscape> borrows traditional styles of East Asian landscape paintings (Sansu hwa 산수화) but changes the gender of the figures inside, denoting the fact that established East Asian art history has not represented the narrative, memories, and desires of women. Through the figure in the landscape, this series asks who has been the subject that experiences, creates, and possesses a landscape.
왜 전통적인 한국 산수화에는 여자가 없을까?
<그녀의 산수>는 전통적인 동아시아 산수화의 형식을 차용하되, 그림 속 인물의 성별을 바꿈으로서 정립된 동아시아 미술사가 여성의 이야기, 기억, 그리고 욕망을 보여주지 않는다는 사실을 드러낸다. 산수 안의 인물을 통해, 이 작품들은 누가 산수를 경험하고, 만들고, 소유하는 주체였는지 질문한다.
