Gallery Chosun's 'Talpidae' Explores Theseus' Ship Paradox

'Talpidae,' a joint exhibition featuring Jiyeon Lee and Kyungeun Son, is currently on display at Gallery Chosun. This showcase references the paradox of Theseus' Ship from Greek mythology, which explores themes of identity and authenticity in the context of replacement. Rather than debating what constitutes the original, the artists emphasize the process of repair, using the ship as a symbol for modernity and the relentless cycle of replacing the old with the new in capitalist society. The exhibition is being held in Seoul at Gallery Chosun.
