THE AUTHENTIC QUALITY, 2014
Mixed media installation
Minja Gu (1977, South Korea)
Minja Gu’s works appear frail and intimate, and almost indistinguishable from everyday life. With the materials from daily/ordinary life, she creates poetic, humorous, and sedate works, started by questions from various phenomenon and objects of the world.

Gu feels unfamiliar not with the new ingredients in different culture, but with the images of food on the instant-food packages in Korean markets, such as ramen, cooked rice, soy sauce, noodles, and retort curry. Gu realized that familiar things begin to appear strange when she carefully observed the packages. Therefore, she ventures to make a different cultural experience by representing the food images, while tracing its unfamiliarity.
Gu selects best-selling products, food with well-known packaging, and products that portrayed changes in Korean food culture for representation. She translated neat, delicious looking pictures on food packages into pictures in the exhibition space.
