MFA Show - Soyeon Jung 3/25

Soyeon Jung's Memory of November is a multi-channel, three-dimensional video installation that explores a chronological development of memory in three stages. The artist investigates themes of affliction, acquiescence, and reconstruction as she reflects on her cultural background in Korea and its irreconcilable difference to life in America. Using iconic imagery from both cultures as visual clues, each video projection documents a specific cultural performance while attaching to it a metaphorical meaning. By interpreting these symbols the viewer engages in a process of recuperating memory and identity. This act opens up a space in which the artist’s personal memory becomes a conduit for reflection.
