The Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee and the Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte present 《Yeesookyung: Whisper Only to You》, the first solo show dedicated to the South-Korean artist Yeesookyung. The exhibition, divided into two complementary exhibition paths at Madre and at Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte, presents multimedia and multi-material works, among which sculptures, video-installations and paintings, along with new productions realized by the artist by using fragments and shards of the 18th century ceramic production of the Real Fabbrica della Porcellana di Capodimonte. The Facade Galleries of the Madre museum host some works that belong to the multimedia and multi-material production of the artist. The exhibition path is completed by a work from the 〈Translated Vase〉 series, for which Yeesookyung is internationally known. The project, inaugurated in 2002 and still ongoing, consists of the creation of sculptures and installations obtained by assembling ceramic shards, splinters, and fragments. By creating narratives that starts from the existing the artist aims at restoring dignity to the vulnerability of the object and the experience of the individual, between fact and hypothesis, history and narration. The fragmentation of the experience and the attempt to recover it are translated into the restoration of the shattered vase through welding, such as the layer of consciousness is recomposed through the analysis.
