Foreword

Videocity’s special exhibition ‘Flower Power’ for Art Busan CONNECT was organized to commemorate the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Switzerland in 2023 and is supported by the Embassy of Switzerland in Korea. To foster ongoing cultural exchange between Korea and Switzerland, ‘Flower Power’ is being presented at the prestigious art fair Art Busan.

‘Flower Power’ is a theme derived from the 2023 Videocity cycle ‘Utopia Today.’ Rather than focusing on the hypothetical “What if?” in approaching utopia, it centers on the question “What can we do now?” while sharing voices of hopeful critique.

Utopia can be realized by sharing one another’s perspectives. The six videos, composed mainly of works by women artists, employ compelling visual languages to speak of the utopias found within their individual experiences, conveying powerful yet delicate messages. Each work guides viewers to explore the inner or outer aspects of the self in their own way. By following the artists’ stories, audiences will have the opportunity to reflect on what we are made of and what we can do right now to create a better world.
