Taking mulberry paper (the making of which is an ancient Korean craft) as his primary medium, Young creates large creaturely entities steeped in cultural and historical symbolism. He also uses tea and other natural dyes to color the paper. His works resemble living beings: gigantic mushrooms, deformed insects or viruses. In evoking these life forms, the artist stages a performance that is both ritualistic and aesthetic--one that reflects on the interconnection between living beings, biodiversity and the life cycle.\u003cbr\u003eAccompanying the exhibition at Palazzo Polignac at the 59th Venice Biennale, \u003ci\u003eTimes Reimagined\u003c\/i\u003e features more than 150 color images from his oeuvre.
