When Memories Assume Particular Forms, 2024, Mixed media, Dimensions variable. Commissioned by PODO Museum. © Ye-eun Min.
The corners of an interior space are strewn about. The space itself, constituting someone’s memories of a particular time in their life, is dismantled into small pieces, floating through the air. When Memories Assume Particular Forms explores the inherent contradictions and fictions of memory, distorted or reconstructed moment to moment, each instance of recollection. Freely detached from the whole, these structures float as if individual memory transcends the laws of physics, achieving a state of weightlessness and presenting the viewer with an experience beyond conventional notions of time and space. It is as if the torn-out calendar pages and upside-down clocks reveal fragments of subconscious memory, incomplete. Ye-eun Min (b. 1986), active in France and Korea, creates art that twists and transforms continuities of space and time.
