Her Sea, Her Land

MOUMOU Art Space, Beijing

 

 

 

The solo show "Her Sea, Her Land” is inspired by current research on East Asian "sea women", particularly the semi-matriarchal status of Korean sea women, as well as Gilman's 1915 utopian novel “Herland”, which depicts a nation consisting exclusively of females. The "Sea Woman Series" started in 2023, during which various experiments were conducted within its framework, with the aim of maintaining a state of flux in the body of work. 

 

This exhibition focuses more on the combination and arrangement of individual pieces. "Sea Woman Series” is always composed of a work of group portraits. Rather than creating an actual group portrait on a single surface, it involves breaking down the group from the drawing, reassembling each piece in physical space using semi-transparent materials, inviting visitors to enter and move around them. The nature of tracing paper brings the possibility of the series standing in the space and being around the viewers. The material might look fragile and light, but it's actually full of resilience. Together with a supporting structure assembled from metal chains, they for a kind of contrast between heavy and light.
