Chan-Hyo Bae
Fin dal completamento degli studi alla Scuola di Belle Arti ‘Slade’ (UCL, Londra) nel 2007, Chan-Hyo Bae ha espresso nel suo lavoro sentimenti di estraniazione culturale ed emotiva, sperimentati dall’artista durante il periodo di studio in Inghilterra. La sua serie Existing in Costume (Esistendo in Costume), con meticolosa ricerca del dettaglio, crea scene elaborate di sé stesso come nobildonna occidentale, dall’epoca Elisabettiana fino all’età della Reggenza. Questa ricerca dell’individuo all’interno di una narrazione identitaria collettiva nazionalistica viene ulteriormente sviluppata nelle sue ultime opere che prediligono come soggetto il regno delle fiabe occidentali, storie che hanno permeato la nostra cultura e plasmato la nostra psiche. La sua ricerca attuale descrive il soggetto della punizione in riferimento all’esercizio del potere.
