Multi-channel video installation
Single-channel version with text
A Caucasian woman is seen on screen narrating personal anecdotes and discussing her identity as someone born in Korea. She shares short yet revealing narratives that question the conflict between her racial appearance and her stated ethnic identity. However, the veracity of her statements remains uncertain.
*Note: In 2018, my external hard drive, which stored my earlier works, crashed. As a result, I lost the original video files. Only one file remained: the b-take from the shoot. I used this surviving file to recreate an installation at the Alternative Artspace Ipo during the Open-Studio session in 2022.
