Naming Myself. performance

내 이름 짓기. 퍼포먼스



4’ 09” video documentation of the performance. Oct 2022



I had changed my name multiple times in the process of moving to the United States, sometimes to obtain a valid passport, and sometimes to please others.

On the tombstone-like installation, I wrote my six different Korean and English names in a chronological order of changes.
