The works of Song Sanghee (b. 1970) start by assuaging the soundless death of those who have absolutely nothing in this world. Through her works, the artist captures those who have been shunned and excluded by symbolic violence as well as the nameless beings that have constantly existed in different appearances over the years. She calls them to the complex time and space of the past and present through a narrative context that has been solidified through music, video, drawing, text and performance. The series, which was produced in the 2000s, has reenacted structuralized myths and tragic events from the perspective of a modern woman and continually questioned the position of women in society. Since 2010, Song has collected and studied historical records in more delicate, multilayered ways. Based on this, she continues to form relationships by initiating conversations about what has been forgotten in historical scenes and the splendid things remaining in these moments.Less
