@tomorrowmaybe_hk We are delighted to invite the rising star in Korean contemporary art, Sungsil Ryu, to be our residency artist for “After Human: Marks of the Beasts” from 20 Mar to 3 Apr 2024. Ryu will showcase an immersive video installation at the exhibition in Tomorrow Maybe and will also host a screening of her video series featuring Cherry Jang, an online influencer character in her fictional universe, at Kino on March 29th at 5:30 pm. Come and join us as we delve into Ryu’s satirical and hyperbolic narratives, exploring the origins and logistics of desire and fear in contemporary Korean society.
About Sungsil Ryu
Sungsil Ryu’s work focuses on the mechanics of materialistic desire in modern-day Korea, which is influenced by the complex intertwining of traditional Korean Confucian values and the US-led neoliberal global order. She employs a unique style of black comedy and uses a variety of mediums, such as video, installation, and performance, to reinterpret cultural phenomena.
In 2021, Ryu became the youngest artist to receive the prestigious 19th Hermès Foundation Missulsang.
