Minja Gu will talk about 2-3 of her previous projects and on-going work for MAP 2019. Mostly her works are rather passive performances or acts conducted in a parallel manner through personal acts in their daily life under slightly different conditions or implications. They are documented via photographs or videos, and showcased through various media including drawings and writings. She will share with the audiences focusing on the meaning of the act of ‘documenting’ and the context in documented materials in exhibitions.
