Geumhyung Jeong: Oil Pressure Vibrator

Geumhyung Jeong: Oil Pressure Vibrator

Geumhyung Jeong is a South Korean artist who’s interested in the human body, the objects that surround it, and the blurred boundaries between who controls who, what controls which. She’s developed a particularly strange fascination with the excavator and its movement. In Oil Pressure Vibrator, she wields that heavy machinery to break into the complexities of sexuality. Her quest is narrated live (with English subtitles), interwoven with performance, documentary film and genre-defying video work. For all its wildness, it’s also a contemplative, starkly beautiful show… an intrepid performance-lecture that plunges a big bucket into preconceptions about sexuality, technology and the body, then digs past them, towards a place of earth-moving self-pleasure.
