PARK Youngsook, Look, That Woman Sings and Dances

Jeon Hyewon, Asia Today, 12 March 2026

The Mad Women series features images of women who depart from social norms, such as a woman staring into empty space and another laughing with the ties of her hanbok skirt loosened. Through the provocative motif of the “mad woman,” the artist reveals the suppressed realities faced by women and visualizes their subjectivity and anger.

 

The photomontage work Witch also evokes the long history of women’s oppression. Drawing on the motif of the witch burnings in the West, the piece carries a message that seeks to recall and console the memories of women who were oppressed and sacrificed.
