윤정미 Jeongmee Yoon
윤정미는 사회 현상을 날카로운 시선으로 바라보며 현대 사회의 이데올로기적 재생산과 구조에 대한 문제의식을 제기한다. 여자-핑크, 남자-블루라는 컬러 코드화를 <핑크&블루 프로젝트Ⅰ>작업을 통해 첫 선을 보였다. 성별에 따른 선호색은 결국 어른들의 사회적 관념에 의해 형성되었음을 주지시키며 젠더와 고정관념에 따른 기호와 소유 등에 대한 문제를 발견하고 현대 사회의 한 단면을 짚어 보게 한다.
윤정미는 서울대에서 서양화를 전공, 홍익대학원에서 사진디자인을 전공했으며, 졸업 후 뉴욕 스쿨 오브 비주얼 아트 대학원에서 사진전공으로 석사학위를 받았다. 제9회 일우사진상, 홍콩의 소버린 예술재단 아시아 작가상과 제5회 다음작가상을 수상하였고, 보스톤 미술관, 국립현대 미술관 미술은행 등 국내외에 작품이 소장되어 있다.
Yoon, looking at the social phenomenon with the keen sight, raises the awareness of the problems of ideological reproduction and structure in modern society. ‘The Pink & Blue Project I’ is her first series depicting color coded stereotype: girl – pink and boy – blue. Implying the preferred color is eventually formed by adult’s social ideas, the work leads us to discover the problems with taste and possession affected by gender and stereotypes, and to take a look at an aspect of modern society.
