About the Video
A behind-the-scenes look at MMCA Hyundai Motor Series 2023: Jung Yeondoo - One Hundred Years of Travels. Throughout his journey, Jung Yeondoo met members of Mexico’s Korean diaspora, sparking his exploration into how displaced communities strive to retain a cultural heritage beyond language or other traditional markers of identity. Through this sincerity Jung creates a visual language within his exhibition that mirrors the complexities of diasporic identity—fluid, evolving, and beyond the limits of spoken words.

About the Program
The MMCA Hyundai Motor Series is a pivotal part of the decade-long partnership between MMCA and Hyundai Motor, which aims to expand the field of Korean contemporary art and its role in the broader global dialogue. Each year, MMCA Seoul presents a major solo exhibition featuring new works by a Korean artist or collective. Accompanied by seminars and publications, this platform offers audiences an immersive encounter with the prevailing currents and vibrancy of Korean art today. The series began in 2014 with a groundbreaking exhibition by Lee Bul, followed by Ahn Kyuchul, Kimsooja, IM Heung-soon, CHOIJEONGHWA, Park Chan-kyong, Haegue Yang, MOON Kyungwon & JEON Joonho, and Choe U-Ram, and culminates in 2023-4 with Jung Yeondoo.
