2018, Fence Around, CR Collective, Seoul

In ⟪Fence Around⟫, Min Sunghong performatively unites his previous works while focusing on the contemporary diaspora. As he notes, the work “reveals identity, class, and the ambiguity of their boundaries through the process of transforming and recombing everyday discarded objects collected in situations where one’s position is moved (migrated) by societal systems beyond one’s control”.

 

The artist highlights individuals who have vanished from loosely connected communities, the othering and alienation created by blurred boundaries, and displaced groups, showing the diaspora revealed through their abandoned spaces. This exhibition, composed entirely of new works, uses drawing, sculpture, installation, and video documentation to express unfamiliar and unsettling emotions, presenting a theatrical and dynamic spatial experience in the manner of a total-stage performance.
