Hayoun Kwon, 〈The Bird Lady〉, 2017. 3D animation, color, sound, 6min 49sec.

DOOSAN Gallery New York presents Hayoun Kwon’s solo exhibition, 《Then, Fly Away》, from November 7th to December 19th. Kwon, who is the 2017 recipient of the 8th DOOSAN Artist Award, lives and works between France and South Korea. The artist has exhibited and received awards at numerous venues and institutions including the Ars Electronica Festival (2018) in Austria; Doc Fortnight (2017) at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, U.S.A.; the 62nd International Short Film Festival Oberhausen (2016) in Germany; and Palais de Tokyo (2015) in France. Kwon, whose new media-based work has taken on several forms including 3D animation, documentaries, Virtual Reality (VR) projects and installations, has consistently addressed geopolitical questions surrounding borders and territoriality, migration, immigration and the construction of historical and individual memories. Through 《Then, Fly Away》, Kwon underscores the fallacious and ever-changing nature of memory as it relates to both the individual and collective lived experience, and encourages viewers to examine the frontiers of objective truth and fictional interpretation.
