Cacophony 2023

Pigment print, UV-printed images on glass, wooden frame
21.8 x 31 cm





Cacophony presents portrait images that depict the unsettled and floating nature of Asian female identity. The Korean term yonghone nosukjja [homeless soul] describes Korean immigrants who do not fully belong to either their country of origin or their host country. They are often subjected to racist demands to “go back to where they came from,” even though their place of origin exists as a fantasized memory that has changed over time and is no longer a place to which they can return or resettle. As a result, immigrants face a dilemma in which they are perceived as undesirable. The project focuses on the search for portrait photographs in Korea and Austria to capture the transformation of Asian female identity in both the home country and the immigrant country.






This project is supported by the Austrian Ministry of Arts, Culture, the Civil Service, and Sport (BMKÖS).
