Yunchul Kim - Gyre (South Korea) - Venice Art Biennale 2022

Korean pavilion at the Venice Art Biennale 2022, "The Milk of Dreams".

Gyre marks the (in)visible paradigm shifts of our present time, where one era ends and a new one begins, like the ends and the beginnings of a continuous spiral. We are at the “swollen” boundaries of complex political, cultural, social, and existential entanglements, accelerated by the aftermath of the pandemic, human-machine dilemmas, ecological disasters, to warfare – all a shadow of the anthropocentric condition of the world. At the periphery of these tensions is the world viewed through the lens of materials, where objects, beings, and nature all co-exist on an equal footing.
