Chang deals with the body as both a sensory system and a person’s innermost essence, rather than as a cultural product that reflects the social view. Her work can be associated with feminist art, in that she reveals women as desiring subjects, rather than voyeuristic objects. However, by using her artistic imagination to expose taboos relevant to all human bodies, she transcends the limits of classification and explores the broader boundaries of art.
The artist (b. 1973 in Seoul, Korea) lives and works in both Seoul and New York. She received her BFA (2001) and MA (2003) degrees from Korean National University of the Art in Seoul.
