About the Exhibition
Shifting Borders presents photographic installations and sculptural works that explore the “frame” as both boundary and metaphor for social and political categorization.
The photographic works feature fragmented portraits, divided and displayed across multiple frames. Viewers are invited to reconstruct the figure, reflecting on identity, perception, and the fractured ways we are seen and understood. The sculptural works, built from deconstructed frame corners with band saw blades embedded inside, form new structures where rupture and tension coexist with the possibility of transformation.
As the daughter of displaced people and a minority artist, I resist neat categorization and instead embrace contradiction and layered identity. Shifting Borders reimagines the frame not as confinement but as a site of complexity, renewal, and becoming.
Artist Bio:
Insoon’s work explores colonialism, hybridity, and the abject through installations that invite reflection and challenge assumptions. Drawing on her own and shared histories, she examines how identity, power, and violence intertwine.
