| Abstract: | Ring of Animals is the first solo exhibition of South-Korean artist Young In Hong in Belgium. Central in the exhibition is the installation Ring of Animals (2023). Here six sets of straw-woven shoes for different species of animals are placed in a circle. Additional works have been placed in the corridors leading to the chapel. The weaving piece Signalling 2 (2023) and She's Here (2023), a costume for a heron. It presents an integral series of new works that together activate a forgotten communal space that premodern people believed to be real. A sacred area in which the spirits of living organisms, including animals and humans, can communicate with each other through natural connections while being linked in relationships of equality. For this, Hong was inspired by the architectural setting of the exhibition space, housed in a Dominican chapel, and its proximity to Antwerp Zoo – one of the oldest zoological gardens in the world, established in 1843. |
