The exhibition investigates South Korea’s contemporary art scene through the medium of video art. Combining technological experimentation with an impelling narrative drive, a new generation of artists is engaging with themes that gravitate around identity, memory and social transformation, in a country poised between tradition and hyper-modernity.
