Daphne Jiyeon Jang South Korean , b. 1986

Constructing a virtual space within which classical sculptures are able to move and gesture, Jang's 'moving sculptures', are designed to unravel the frozen time of antiquity and hint at hidden narrative meanings in the past, that still reverberates in the present. Jang's hope is that the works will possess an emotional power that will engage the viewer, inviting them to reconsider the nature of the past and the relevance and importance of classical, mythic stories and tales in contemporary culture.

The meaning of Jang ji-yeon's artwork lies in the context of unique way of glaring human body. As Michael Talbot wrote in the “holographic universe”, our body is just a medium where we can meet the world, not our possession. Jang ji-yeon shows the moment of switch, from when we merely 'see' the summation of reality, to the moment when we actually can 'feel' it.
