About this Performance

Debuted at the Korean Pavilion of the 2019 Venice Biennale, siren eun young jung’s A Performing by Flash, Afterimages, Velocity, and Noise (2019) probes questions around gender, tradition, and emancipatory possibilities. The audio-visual installation is based on ten years of research on yeoseong gukgeuk, a genre of Korean theatre in which all roles, uniquely and subversively, are performed by women actors. A Performing by Flash, Afterimages, Velocity, and Noise manifests a queer aesthetics and politics through provocative gestures that break free from conventional genre performances and evocative interventions of light, speed, movement, and sound that sometimes clash and, at other times, reconcile beautifully.
