the measure of han

​

research-creation 2021-2023

temporal installation and activations at Ignite gallery, Toronto, 2023

​

Han is an untranslatable Korean affect associated with historical unresolved grief, separated families, and loss of collective identity. 

Han is an accumulation of intergenerational trauma, which in the North American context has been sustained by suspended assimilation and dislocation/migraon.

Through relational methodology, the in/visible limits of it translatability are revealed/concealed.

The Measure of Han bring inherited and copied objects, ritual in repetition, sound/video, and daily artist activations together in a temporal installation as

outcomes of research-creation.
