Tenderpixel is to present Hollow Nadir of Vanity, Jihye Park’s first solo-exhibition in the UK. Park’s work portrays mental landscapes teetering between the conscious and unconscious as played through in memories, dreams and fairy tales. This exhibition will debut her new film work: Lost In The Fathomless Waters. Promoted by the dreamlike surreal plane the film occupies, the exhibition is meant to be played out in the viewer’s imagination. Exploring the space between idealised love, banal love and tragic love, Park is fascinated with memories and notions of darkness. Harnessing visual elements of pastiche, Park attempts to circumvent that which cannot be said with dialogue or plot, rather relying on an ambience of sadness, grief and nothingness. The scenery plays a greater part than the protagonist: It is not crucial for the viewer to fully understand words of the choir, but rather the mood that it creates.
Tenderpixel is a unique space for promoting critical and conceptual work by emerging artists. Located in the heart of Central London, Tenderpixel cultivates distinct talent and provides artists with a rare opportunity to both exhibit new work and use the space as an experimental project platform.
