Walking through the streets, I encounter numerous playgrounds, mere minutes apart, in my city near Seoul. Yet, these spaces are eerily void of children. This stark reality inspired my project, No More Children in My Motherland. Capturing images of deserted playgrounds was hauntingly effortless; devoid of their intended users, these vibrant structures stood like functionless sculptures. What were once symbols of hope have become visual representations of a dystopian reality, a sorrowful landscape alarmingly close to my reality.
With a foundation in diverse lens-based media and a creative approach nurtured in her design studies, Hayun Chun(b.1998) embraces a boundless use of various mediums, skillfully interweaving these disciplines within her body of work. Her primary interest lies in exploring the connections between the 3Ps ? People, Products, and Photographs, which deeply influence her subject matters. Her creative journey includes participation in the Seoul Art Book Fair Unlimited Edition (2020) and being selected for an upcoming group exhibition at King Street Gallery, Montgomery College in Maryland, USA.
