Geumhyung Jeong uses everyday objects upon which she bestows a strange, disconcerting life through an intense and risky interaction. Her movie ‘Munbangu’(Stationery)’ produces the desire to become one of these objects, a pencil or a brush or a piece of paper.

“The video work Munbangu (stationary) demonstrates this uncanny valley of erasure in an unveiling, personified drawing space, displacing the subject-object experience. Speaking through physical enactments enables her to perform as characters depicting otherworldly interlocutors. Humor acts as a familiar and digestible control variable through which Jeong pushes the strict forms of perception.” -from exhibition text ‚Who’s speaking‘ by Klemm’s, Berlin
