ㅁ: each mouthful a comma or period

Min-Young Her's work starts with ㅁ, the Hanja form for mouth, a symbol associated with portals, openings, entrances and exits, eating, language, and truth. This non-narrative, dream-logic sequence explores relationships between letterforms and the physical body, focusing on sensory connections between the mouth and the eye; between speaking, tasting and seeing. Drawing on imagery including endoscope footage from inside her own throat, the work asks what constitutes the borders of the self and of language. Responding to world anxiety, the work also offers a form of antidote: that one might turn inwards to find a place of escape, rest, or nourishment.
