Artists: Forms of the Shadow – Young In Hong in conversation with Bettina Spörr

Young In Hong is working across installation, sound, performance, textile and drawing. Her practice often focuses on undervalued cultural practices and seeks for a sense of equality that gently undermines ruling hierarchies. In recent years, Hong has increasingly examined notions of inter-species communication, symbolism and the hybridity of sound, movement and objects in the context of other-than-human voices. More

Young In Hong is one of 18 artists and artist groups featured in Forms of the Shadow, and one of four artists whose works are shown at the Secession and its partner, the Korean Cultural Centre in Vienna. In this episode, recorded on September 20, 2024, the artist discusses her installation Double Encounter (2009), on view at the Secession, as well as her new work White Cranes and Snowfall (2024), presented at the Korean Cultural Centre.

Further conversations with Jane Jin Kaisen, Joon Kim, Lee Kit, Minouk Lim, Adrián Villar Rojas, Ramiro Wong, Tomoko Yoneda, Jin-me Yoon, and Min Yoon were conducted and will be released in the coming weeks during the exhibition:

Artists: Forms of the Shadow – Joon Kim im Gespräch mit Bettina Spörr

Aufbauend auf dem Gespräch mit der Gastkuratorin Sunjung Kim konzentriert sich diese Podcast-Reihe zu Forms of the Shadow auf die einzelnen Künstler*innen der Ausstellung und beleuchtet ihre Werke.

Diese Folge widmet sich dem Installations- und Soundkünstler Joon Kim, seiner Arbeitsweise mit field recordings und geht Fragen nach Komposition, Manipulation und Arrangements von Klängen nach. Am Ende des Gesprächs sind die drei Tonspuren der Installation in voller Länge zu hören.

In der Secession präsentiert er The Hidden Treasures (2024), ein Soundscape-Projekt, das eine Sammlung von Klängen und Bildern aus Dörfern in der Nähe der sogenannten Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) zusammenführt. Kim erfasst den „Klang“ des natürlichen Ökosystems, das durch die Teilung Koreas lange Zeit von Menschen beinahe unberührt erhalten geblieben ist. Auf diese Weise führt das Projekt das Publikum indirekt an unbekannte Orte, die es noch nicht erlebt hat. Joon Kim hat in Bielefeld, Kassel und an der Akademie der Künste in Berlin studiert, weshalb diese Folge auf Deutsch aufgezeichnet wurde.
