In her new Berlin-inspired works, made during her artist residency at SomoS, Korean visual artist Hyehyeon Kwon thematizes movement, space, and the place of individuals. Drawing inspiration from big cities and the signs and symbols that inform and guide its inhabitants, she achieves a creative interpretation of this urban informational structure by appropriating universal and recognizable graphic elements, working with the notion of the “unit,” one of which is the dot, an essential and returning symbol in her work.
