Biography
Seungwon Yang holds a BFA in Photography and an MFA in Fine Art. Yang explores expanding the boundaries of epistemology and photography by creating parallel images that blur the line between reality and fabrication. The reproduced and manipulated images jump between 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional spaces. There is a sense of irony as these images are still accepted as real without much questioning. The artist attempts to break free from evidential documentation of photography and expand the boundaries of the photographic medium by changing the perspective toward the traditional function of photography (to record and recreate) and the expected types of information retained in the images.

Yang held multiple solo exhibitions in Korea including Glimpse, Seoul Museum of Art SeMA Storage, Seoul, 2021; Covered Moment, HITE Collection, Seoul, 2019; and Ctrl+c, Ctrl+v, SongEun Art Cube, Seoul, 2018. The artist also took part in residency programs such as P ACC Asiaplex Studio, Asia Culture Center, Gwangju; Gyeonggi Creation Center Residency, Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation, Ansan; and more.
