AB - ‘Identity’ was a lifelong issue for Yiso Bahc. His work can be summarized into phases of ‘recognition of self identity’(1981-1984), ‘setting the problem of cultural identity’(1985-1994), and ‘beyond identity issue’(1995-2004). This paper examined the identity issue in the later works of Yiso Bahc, and suggested the following points. First, after 1995, His works for this period seem to be more like a journey towards the ultimate values of an artist's inner ethics, a fundamental realization of creation of art works, a cliffhanging hope for future and happiness, and the meeting with the Lebenswelt. This is a typical example of “the man who seeks the meaning of life on earth” like the idea of ‘Übermensch’ which Nietzsche presented as the goal of the human being. Second, his works are characterized by the position of ‘nothingness’ or ‘nihilism’. In this sense, what he aimed at was, paradoxically, ‘post-identity’. This was a search for overcoming the denial of the absurdity or the conventional values of the world, and it was also due to the constant self-reflection of the artist who sought the possibility of a free life. In other words, the tendency of Yiso Bahc's later works is very far from the cultural politics or thesis. The art he pursued was “to be concerned about and prepare for the future” in Lebenswelt of ‘here and now’ through ‘the human will to creation’, which has some implications for the discussion on identity in contemporary Korean art today.
