Sinae Yoo Deconstructs Vision at Gallery Apart Rome

Sinae Yoo (Seoul, 1985) presents a site-specific exhibition at Gallery Apart in Rome that challenges Western notions of sight by intertwining vision and touch. The show features installations, drawings, ceramics, and a video with soundtrack. It opens with a traditional Korean doormat, introducing a protected yet familiar environment. A mobile screen and a dominant Nivea blue imbue the space with metaphorical and branded connotations. The cream extends the theme of 'conservation' to sushi boxes, while a textile veil obscures surveillance cameras, expressing 'clarity'. The title itself signals a fracture that, when activated in interpersonal relationships, becomes a symbolic mechanism of self-protection.
