"Adoption: Palimpsest of Identity" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At Gallery Korea
Media: Photography, Other, Video installation
Curated by Jeehey Kim, "Adoption: Palimpsest of Identity" features six artists who deal with the identity of the adoptee, an identity that is barely discussed in identity politics using the media of video installation and photomontage. The artists demonstrate how the issue of adoption disrupts and disturbs the existing circuits of enunciation of one’s identity. As a palimpsest shows both the overwriting text and the overwritten one beneath at once, the works in this exhibition reveal how one dimension, one nation, one dream, and one world bumps into another. Positing identity as hybrid and fluid, their works transform and challenge the established and fixed order of things.
