Yuni Kim Lang‘s work is currently featured at the John Michael Kohler Art Center in Wisconsin – along with that of Susie Ganch– in an exhibition entitled Material Fix .
From Juxtapoz,
“My vision was to see hair in the way we fantasize about it. The dead hair that we imagine to be full of life. It is the part of the body that has no nerves or muscles but has movements and rhythm that feel alive. When you cut it off there is no pain and it does not bleed. Yet, we perceive it as a sacred entity, where many cultures in history have preserved hair. I fantasize about my hair. It stands in for my cultural identity which is becoming an organism that continues to grow and prosper.”
