Koon Kwon will take us on a research journey about vanishing believes and their immaterialization. Her work practice is inspired by overlapping images on the interconnections and similarities between ethnic and religious symbols and patterns of different cultures. The velocity of digitalization and globalization does not leave us sufficient time to knowing each other.
The artist´s main interest is about how things disappear and the difference of the intensity of personal experiences between people in the past and contemporary. Nowadays humans are to some extent absorbed by a digital black hole and seem more focussed on appearances than on genuine feelings. Hence her sculptures made in wax which may be ignited are deeply resonating feelings. The technical approach in making her sculptures is proprietary. Koon builds them up by various layers thus incorporating different timelines which would not be possible by merely moulding them. As the sculptures are not in one piece they are rather multi perspective thereby favoring different receptions.
