LKFF 2022 x LUX: Yun Choi
런던한국영화제 2022 x LUX: 최윤 개인전
LUX and the London Korean Film Festival join forces to present the first UK solo exhibition by Korean contemporary artist Yun Choi, Running at the Speed of Light, the Body Becomes a Turtle.
Yun Choi collects images, words and behaviours marked by Korean banality and remixes them for her videos and multimedia installations. Through the fantastical embodiment of vernacular culture, her practice activates a society into multi-body beings, manifesting the contemporary psyche. Ecstatic and melancholic, her work traces collective belief and reverie that underlie absurd socio-political phenomena.
The exhibition at LUX presents two films that explore language as a bodily experience: the latest rendition of Choi’s film Where the Heart Goes_Poetry Collection (2022), and Viral Lingua (2018), a collaborative film made with Minhwi Lee. Grounded in the embodied writing practice, these films animate words through utterances, visual symbolisms and bodily movements to enunciate gut feelings that challenge logic.
