Art Space presents a solo exhibition 《Prophecy & Scenario》 by Shin Jungkyun, on view through March 23.
Shin
Jungkyun (b. 1986) constructs narratives that traverse the boundary between
reality and fiction through archives of found objects and mockumentary-style
videos. He consistently questions whether what we see, experience, and know is
truly real. However, his focus is not on uncovering some underlying truth
behind appearances.

he responds to unstable and precarious situations by proposing alternative
hypotheses or restructuring them in unpredictable ways, offering perspectives
that challenge dominant social conventions.
In 《Prophecy
& Scenario》, he continues his practice of
destabilizing fixed ideas and forms by categorizing his explorations into
themes such as reality and fiction, meta-archives, forms of belief, symbols,
and signifiers. This approach not only extends his recent material concerns but
also references the methodologies embedded in his work from the beginning of
his practice. In doing so, the exhibition provides a comprehensive view of how
his artistic world has taken shape and the direction it has pursued over time.
