Between art and fashion photography, what has made Heji Shin’s work striking and distinctive over the last decade is her provocative points of view eschewing morality.

ANOTHER MAN
Apparently attracted to what polarizes extreme opinions, contempt as well as cravings for celebrity, power, exposure, sex or motherhood, her position within art today is rare. It is in this world ruled by taste and class divisions, with its encoded and delineated spaces that Heji moves with insolent freedom.

Heji creates cinematic portraits that explore desire, style, and violence. Ranging from fashion models to zoo animals, her subjects are highly staged, and details are often manipulated using analog and digital production, such as double exposure.

Though her work is provocative and boundary-crossing, she says "Doing something simply out of a desire to be transgressive is very stupid, you know, just to break certain taboos. It has to have more substance than that".

Heji's photography raises—from a variety of perspectives and with great audacity— the question of intimacy. At the center of intimacy sits always trust, something that is today called into question on all sorts of levels.
