On Earth

In his solo show, On Earth, at Carpenters Workshop Gallery Paris, Wonmin Park explores a new relationship between humans and nature.

Nature has reached a new age of abstraction amid its co-evolution alongside humanity, breaking the binary understanding that humans and the natural world are somehow distinct from each other. Its meaning has evolved beyond the image of an untouched, wild, environment, and now encompasses the hybrid and technological ways we engage with our planet.

Wonmin seeks to find a way to trace and explore our current, often paradoxical, natural existence. On Earth investigates the presence and balance of competing forces through Wonmin’s latest collections, Plain Cuts_Stone&Steel and Plain Cuts_Remediated. Whereas Stone&Steel demonstrates a juxtaposed material encounter of nature against man, Wonmin develops his Remediated series as an expression of a new nature humans have created.
