Juntae TeeJay Hwang’s practice stems from his personal experience living as an uncanny foreigner in the West. Having left Korea at the age of twelve to attend school in the US and the UK, Hwang engages with the collisions, misunderstandings and prejudice that can arise when different cultures come together. Often drawing on the aesthetics of South Korean pop culture and North Korean propaganda, his work attempts to deconstruct Western-centric globalized imagery through a variety of media, including video, installation, painting, and performance. His practice spans a range of approaches, from those that are more confrontational and aggressive in tone, to those that present a more immersive, utopian space that offers freedoms beyond those of daily reality but also captures dystopian aspects within this “reality” simultaneously.
