Lives in Germany
hxxkxx.work@gmail.com





Hyungyung Jang(b.1994) is a visual artist working in Germany who draws inspiration from objects she discovers on the street or online. Her work explores the transient forms of objects, the tension created by contrasts and collisions, and the complex interrelationships between mass production and consumer society. In an improvised process, she reconstructs and installs objects found in various locations, combining them with photography and installation to create a unique work. In this process, objects beyond familiar boundaries, fragile relationships, states or forms, as well as indefinable and useless things are aesthetically visualized. At the same time, the artist gives new meaning to mass-produced objects whose purpose has become unclear and encourages critical reflection.
