Hyunmin Ryu

Photographer

Hyunmin Ryu expresses the concept of failure and imperfections arising from life in a minimal expression. His understated expressions take a strategy that maximizes the effect through small interventions or ready-made applications. His work is done through a variety of media including photographs, videos, and installations. In particular, in his installation works, the use of ready-made objects creates a different context by simply placing them in the exhibition space. Through this, the artist presents institutional criticism in a personal and somewhat emotional dimension. His recent photography work is focused on the limitations and imperfections of depicting a person in a photograph. The artist's work has been exhibited in Daegu, Seoul, Tokyo, London and London, and his works are in the collections of the Korean National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Daegu art museum, as well as domestic and foreign institutions.
