{"product_id":"66223-heaven-baek","title":"Heaven Baek","description":"Platforms of Reality is a multi-layered analysis and interpretation of the work of Heaven Baek, exploring how individuals and society interact both in reality and on stage. It ranges from the artist's early works to her most recent practice, in which she questions the reality of video timelines, augmented realities, and collective memories. Her complex performances are spatial visualizations of the flood of information that increasingly loses its purpose and meaning. \u003cbr\u003eThe book is divided into four chapters, each exploring a different understanding of reality and bringing together Baek's various artistic approaches. The metaphor of the \"platform\" can be imagined as a stage for her work, from which trains depart on different tracks with different destinations, yet constantly cross paths. From drawing to video to installation: Baek uses her artistic methods to examine the fabric of social interaction. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHEAVEN BAEK (*1984, Busan, South Korea) studied media art in Melbourne and received her master's degree from the Glasgow School of Art. In her videos and installations, she stages reality, thereby scrutinizing mechanisms of society. She lives and works in Seoul and Berlin.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49755249770760,"sku":"9783775756495","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775756495_85202981-7704-4bac-ba78-d32618f7a14e.jpg?v=1744288980","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/66223-heaven-baek","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
