Junhwan Yeo

Jun Hwan Yeo’s work is mainly based on objects without value. The beginning of his work was formed from his collections of objects with bright colors, smooth and shiny surface. But also from industrial objects for mass consumption, preferably small, sweet… Toys, candies and fake jewelry are part of an industrial mass production intended to satisfy our desires. These objects are thus a by-product of our society. The action of consumption is carried out by : 1. The appearance of the desire, 2. A mass production 3. The acquisition of the product. In spite of the thousands of products manufactured with the only aim of satisfying us we are never satisfied, our desires are infinite, we must continue to manufacture the products indefinitely. The smile of Jun Han Yeo’s Playmobils is ironic.
