2004
16 x 20 inches (17.25 x 21.25 inches framed)
Edition of 30
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
In staging performative actions for the camera, Jin-Me Yoon often employs her body as a sign of difference and, more recently, as evidence of an embodied corporality. Landscapes, particular sites and cities, people, objects, and materials provide departure points for broader issues and geopolitical particularities to be identified.
