This Time Being
2013, series of 9 chromogenic prints, varied dimensions
In this series of sculptural portraits, Yoon turns to the non-human world to reimagine relationality. A soft rubber sculpture is draped, hung, and propped in a variety of man-made natural environments, allegorizing dependency, interrelationality, and form. Creating a poetics of contingency, the works in the series This Time Being imagine a post-Anthropocene world in which humans rethink their primacy in the world. Yoon’s most abstract, formal work, This Time Being is an important highlight in her oeuvre, which indicates the central importance of constructed form in her work.
