Under my skin

In recent years, her practice has expanded to explore themes of existence and life through time, perception, and phenomena encountered on Earth. This has given rise to series such as Breath, which captures traces of respiration in two-dimensional spaces, and Spectrum, an exploration of the play and presence of natural light. This exhibition focuses on Under my skin, one of her diverse series, and marks Yamato’s first solo exhibition in South Korea. Under my skin is a series that begins with observing her blood cells under an optical microscope. By studying the changing forms of blood cells over time and under different physical conditions, Yamato depicts the rich diversity of life and activity within the human body. The works in this series feature collages of blood cells observed under various magnifications and circumstances recreated with paint on canvas. These visuals, reminiscent of microbial chains or a star-filled night sky, suggest a connection between the microcosm and macrocosm of life and existence. Additionally, the exhibition will debut a new series titled a drop of blood, which delves into the various phases and transitions of a single drop of blood. A large-scale installation using organza to depict images from Under my skin will also be presented. We invite you to explore this exhibition, where diverse facets of the world intersect, and we hope you enjoy the experience.
