Reincarnation

IM Heung-soon’s work explores the ongoing process of modernization and globalization in Korea as seen through the eyes of older generations whose lives have spanned these momentous shifts.

Where the artist’s prior work has concentrated on male roles in Korean society, Reincarnation (2015) centers on a group of women who were dancers in the ad-hoc entertainer community – referred to as the “foxhole circuit” – that performed for Korean troops during the Vietnam War.
