concept title:

The extremes of optical effects

Concept:

Yong Kyun’s work was inspired by the continual, repetitive patterns in optical art, developed with contrasting colours such as black and white. Experimenting with different techniques to integrate into outfits, in search of a single element that through repetition would enable him to explore shape and form, while referencing optical effects. Eventually selecting duckbill hair clips as material of choice. Through the time consuming process that confirms meticulous manual abilities, individually ‘upholstering’ hundreds of hair clips (using different fabrics going from leather to wool), joining them together to form his silhouettes. A display of extraordinary patterns and shapes.
