ELBOW ROOM
ACUD (BERLIN)

Hana Yoo’s overarching thesis, questions the complex power system of hierarchical positions through storytelling. This interest places the artist’s practice in a denunciatory tone of capitalist behaviors, underlying in our everyday political and social realities. Through two video works, the exhibition establishes itself as a provocation: What defines our identity and how is it being manipulated? If the eyes are a mirror to your soul, an opposite picture is painted if you can’t look in someone’s eyes. By dissolving the human aspect, pointing it towards a more machinal state, oppressive behaviors and tools become easier to maintain in a well sealed environment.
