2nd solo exhibition, Art Space MITE, Gwangju, Korea, 2010
"Woudns" is a video installation that was exhibited in Kang's second solo exhibition in Gwangju, Korea.
The audiences face many frames hung on the walls. It looks like a room of portraits
however they contain not portraits but traces of a human face.
This video installation seems like as if someone is pushing the frames from behind, but those are actually illusions that come from the projectors. The person whispers and painfully performs behind the white fabric thus the fabric keeps us from seeing who the real person is.
Through this anonymity, Kang tries to deliver the irony of wounds deep inside of us. Everyone wants to share his/her stories and to be comforted by and taken care of even though it is difficult because they are sometimes too private and sometimes too severe.
