It’s a reversed journey of image-making as a means of representation. It’s also an inadvertent pilgrimage to find the totems—the basalt henges, frozen waterfall, and fallen boulders—encoded in hyper-realistic pixel composites, waiting in the arctic storm. Unknown Lumps has been shown via the 7th Wrong Biennial,&nbsp;the 18th Triennial Symposium for Arts and Technology in Connecticut College, and the Arctic &amp; Nother Studies MA exhibition in University of Alaska Fairbanks.&nbsp; https://joonjuneyoon.com/Soluble-Site-Series Wed, 26 Feb 2025 23:51:01 +0000 Heejoon June Yoon https://joonjuneyoon.com/Soluble-Site-Series Soluble: Site Series. 2023 <img width="3360" height="1842" width_o="3360" height_o="1842" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1ae06f0cd2ac24a04cbeb91d440cefc2448a6e2b473aa074f6928f50a479c0f9/oaxacan-valley-T-1-copy.jpg" data-mid="227301410" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1ae06f0cd2ac24a04cbeb91d440cefc2448a6e2b473aa074f6928f50a479c0f9/oaxacan-valley-T-1-copy.jpg" /><img width="3360" height="1842" width_o="3360" height_o="1842" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8251f83013e95fbd0e6769caba582cd9343bac475bdcbb5e0931d17070de8cbb/oaxacan-valley_00052.jpg" data-mid="227301122" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8251f83013e95fbd0e6769caba582cd9343bac475bdcbb5e0931d17070de8cbb/oaxacan-valley_00052.jpg" /> The Water Boils. 2 of 90 images. 2023 <img width="3360" height="1842" width_o="3360" height_o="1842" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8cf1809efccad970730736f172e6ea8f2b6ba6538021d1bbbc7edab4b520dbf7/north-atlantic-17.jpg" data-mid="227301193" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8cf1809efccad970730736f172e6ea8f2b6ba6538021d1bbbc7edab4b520dbf7/north-atlantic-17.jpg" /> <img width="3360" height="1842" width_o="3360" height_o="1842" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc1af4c87347f73c42c5f84e4436a5b853ccf002525b6c769ef7ad8032386120/north-atlantic-05.jpg" data-mid="227301186" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cc1af4c87347f73c42c5f84e4436a5b853ccf002525b6c769ef7ad8032386120/north-atlantic-05.jpg" /> Outer Lands. 2 of 22 images. 2023 Sacredness is often intertwined with death, and I’ve noticed how frequently the grotesque plays a role in that transformation. From Christ’s sacrifice to Viking Ättestupa rituals or the Emile Bell’s child, there’s an unsettling connection—does death require a grotesque element to be seen as sacred, or do we, as humans, project sacredness onto what disturbs and fascinates us?&nbsp;Some things only become sacred once they die, and if they are also eerie, people become transfixed, unable to look away. Sitting with these thoughts, I gradually shifted from creating my own grotesque imagery to seeking out the grotesque that already exists in the world. &nbsp; Over the past six years, I have sought out sites and scenes where acculumated phantasma overlay physical transformation—landscapes marked by melting and solidifying, eruptions in urban spaces, fractured and rising ground, or remnants left behind by a receding sea.
