Celebration of the Uprooted

Photography

2022

Celebration of the Uprooted grew out of a desire to confront processes of transmission with rituals of connection to ancestors in the context of adoption. Through her own story and that of Yung Mi, who was adopted in Korea in the 1970s, Mishio creates various objects drawn from an uprooted folklore, objects that emerged from fantasies and questions about identity representations, inscribed in a desire to create a space where exchanges between the invisible and the visible, between ancestors and descendants are allowed.
