bohyun yoon: mirror costume


‘mirror costume’ by bohyun yoon, 2003 (live model, plexiglas mirror, brass, hinges, velcro)   

‘mirror costume’ by korean artist bohyun yoon expands on his earlier work ‘mirror mask’, developing
the idea into a full body scale. the costumes are worn by live models who strap on mirrored panels made
from plexiglas mirrors with brass hinges and velcro to keep them on. the mirrors adorn the face, chest
and hips of the models reflecting their body parts back and forth. yoon explains the concept behind
the piece, ‘I use mirrors for integrating reality and illusion. I use the human body as a metaphor for the
people of contemporary society. my work poses the question: what is reality?’

The metaphor might be acceptable... But why a Korean artist does not use Korean models?
