Artists: Forms of the Shadow – Young In Hong in conversation with Bettina Spörr
10/17/24 • 32 min
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 - Kyungah Ham in conversation with Bettina Spörr
Following a conversation with guest curator Sunjung Kim, this podcast is the first to focus on the individual artists in the exhibition and their works.
This episode, recorded on 20 September 2024, is dedicated to the ambivalence between the deceptive, aesthetically seductive surface and the unexpected abysses hidden behind Kyungah Ham’s conceptual embroidery works. It all began with a North Korean propaganda leaflet the artist found on her parents' doorstep one day and the question, "What if I send these things back to North Korea and communicate with anonymous people and share this strange feeling (...)".
Forms of the Shadow is the first group exhibition at the Secession since 2018. It casts light on contemporary shadows unveiled by the global pandemic, the climate crisis, and geopolitical tensions. Further conversations with Young In Hong, 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:
