Jeon Bin captures and reveals the latent emotions and discourses of the era embedded within the unconscious, raising questions about their nature. Through the combination of everyday objects and mechanisms that generate movement, he creates entities that mimic human behavior. His work seeks to visualize and release the repressed unconscious, deconstructing the individual shaped by social structures and exploring new possibilities of self-awareness.
These works manifest through the interplay of objects and motions that metaphorically represent the artist’s own experiences of insomnia, depression, and lethargy—states of unproductivity that inhabit daily life. By transforming what he once perceived as negative self-portraits into kinetic sculptures, the artist simulates a shift in perception—moving away from self-loathing and denial toward acceptance, neutrality, or even affirmation of the self.
