Artist statement on BEYOND THE SCENE
2020
Beyond the Scene (2020) is Yiyun Kangโs immersive projection mapping installation exhibited in the global project, CONNECT, BTS. This work demonstrates how BTSโ message extends its influence on a global scale with ARMY, the โone of a kindโ fandom. Kang identified this phenomenon even more meaningful under this particular time where the current scenes, such as political, financial, environmental and social scenes seem to reach the breaking point. Kangโs work illustrates how BTS and ARMY pushed the boundaries together to move beyond the existing scenes, and questions what this phenomenon means to us in the present time.
Kang created an immersive audio-visual environment wrapped by large-scale projections that capture the human movements, inspired by BTSโ choreography. These abstract, yet dynamic and intense movements fill the space, just like how the seven boys built BTS together with the support of ARMY. These imageries are then mixed with digital animations, opening up an imaginative dimension as they expand beyond the external facade. The resulting environment is bereft of boundaries. Viewers can navigate between the analog and digital, the physical and virtual and the material and immaterial as well as between surface and depth. This multi-sensorial space challenges viewersโ perception and emancipates their dichotomous thinking by immersing corporeality.
This work primarily illustrates BTS as a cultural figure that incessantly pushing the boundaries. Furthermore, Kang examines what made BTS's current presence possible to find social implications that extend beyond the pop-culture scene. In Beyond the Scene, the audience, work and space are connected and entangled together therefore it cannot be fully appreciated without acknowledging this relationship. Through this work, Kang aims to demonstrate that we need to work together to go beyond the current scenes to be connected again, to make the world inclusive and sustainable.
