SUITMAN @ Agnes b. Shanghai


Posted by Eddi (adFunture) on November 23, 2007 1:21 AM | Email


SUITMAN invades Shanghai officially with his For Her Eyes Only exhibition opening at Agnes b. Shanghai.


Young Kim, aka Suitman, has travelled all over the globe taking photo journels of himself in his iconic black suit yellow shades. The images are only part of the story, the more powerful part of the story is the interaction that took place in different countries, cities, with different people that crossed paths during his journey. One can say that there's a story behind every photo of the Suitman.

 

One of the reasons why I love going to Young's exhibition openings is that you can always expect something to "happen". What "happens" is the real "art" in the show. Photos on the wall are just a record of past actions. Tonight, all guests that were at the opening got their portrait taken by the Suitman himself. All photographed got to wear that suit outfit for the shot. The guests got to take home a copy of that photo, signed by Young. A little token to remind you that YOU were there.

 


While some will say that they don't "get" performace art, well, there's really nothing to "get". Just enjoy the process. Believe it or not, you are part of that art piece tonight. You got involved with the Suitman.
