《凸・起-神話起源》是一件大型裝置作品,表現了朝鮮時代王室女性的正式禮服。以傳統絲綢拼接而成的龐大衣物正反面都暗示了女性的身體輪廓,其中的黑白線條,勾勒描繪出自然與動植物交織的場景。衣服的下擺以皮毛裝飾,直立的形態宛如紀念碑,烘托出圖騰神聖的氛圍。後方的衣襬被刻意拉長,黃底上重複連接著兩具無頭身體的圖像,引導觀者進入一個充滿神話幻想的世界。這件作品將對個人性別認同的提問與大地女神的神話相結合,成為連接地氣與天界的媒介,同時也是神靈附體瞬間肉體離殼的表徵,猶如21世紀的神話誕生的場所。
Sprouting protrusions – Mythogenesis is a large-scale installation, inspired by the formal attire worn by royal women in the Joseon Dynasty. This gigantic garment is crafted from traditional silks, with the silhouettes of women's bodies subtly delineated on its front and back, accompanied by scenes of fauna and flora rendered in black and white lines. The hem of the attire is adorned with fur, its upright posture reminiscent of memorial stones, evoking the sacred aura of totemic patterns. The back hem is intentionally elongated, featuring two interconnected headless bodies on yellow fabric, inviting viewers into a mythological realm.
This piece bridges questions of individual gender identity with the mythology of the Earth Goddess, serving as a medium that connects earthly and celestial energies. The artwork also manifests the transcendence of corporeal forms when imbued with divine spirits, as if illustrating the unfolding of 21st-century mythology.
