AB - This thesis analyzes the artistic world of Jehyun Shin, in which truths, orders, and norms believed to be fixed and immutable are questioned and disrupted through concepts, situations, and materials that exist on the boundaries, by focusing on the themes of revolt and time. Time serves as a central motif for the artist to demonstrate that human-constructed systems are not absolute, and to reflect critically on irrational power structures. Shin manipulates time, either directly or indirectly, as physically experienced by humans, or presents situations that evoke its relativity, while also offering works that explore the flow, accumulation, or transformation of time. In so doing, the artist exposes the dualities and potential distortions inherent in systems of order grounded in universality and standardization, while suggesting the possibility of embracing diversity. His work aligns with Julia Kristeva’s notion of revolt, which resists the fixed meanings of symbolic discourse and asserts difference. Ultimately, Shin affirms the fundamental necessity and significance of psychological and internal resistance to sameness, homogenization, and spectacle. By confronting entrenched taboos, authority, and norms, he initiates a philosophical and conceptual discussion about society, and how human individuals might coexist with those marginalized by normative systems of order.
