Icheon, South Korea, b. 1984
Seungwon Yang majored in photography at Seoul Institute of the Arts and received her master's degree in fine arts from Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London. He creates pseudo-images that blur the boundaries between reality and fabrication using digital images, exploring the possibilities of extending the field of epistemology and photography. He is currently working on revealing hidden aspects of contemporary society, disrupting the taken-for-granted process of perception, and the process of recognizing situations or landscapes that individuals face in modern society. He also captures the heterogeneity created at the intersection of reality and fiction in an expanded concept. He questions the landscapes of harsh reality resulting from a superficial understanding of regions and places, and the differences in materiality visible in the gap between nature and imitation. He has held solo exhibitions at various venues, including N/A (2022), Seoul Museum of Art SeMA Storage (2021), Hite Collection (2019), and SongEun ArtCube (2018).
