Flesh Kimono
Jon Eric Riis2005/2005
The Chung Young Yang Embroidery Museum
Seoul, South Korea
The artist examines the history of civilization through tapestry. In a form of a kimono, this tapestry work exhibits the muscles of a human body. Clothing is used to not only cover one's body, but also as a way to express oneself. However, this work shows how everyone has the same muscles and tissues inside their body. It is a tapestry piece that reflects on the outside and inside of a human body.
