Isaac Chong Wai at Secret Asian Man Presents: 언니 (Unni) (20/03/2026)
Secret Asian Man Presents: 언니 (Unni) brings together works by seven artists, on view from March 20 to May 2, 2026 at Whistle Seoul. Taking the Korean term “unni” as its conceptual framework, the exhibition explores ideas of kinship, intimacy, and the fluidity of identity, examining how language can both reinforce and subvert social structures around gender and community. Through works that foreground surface, tactility, and openness, the exhibition considers how bodies and identities are shaped across time, history, and cultural memory. Engaging with themes of queerness, transformation, and relationality, it proposes alternative ways of imagining coexistence and belonging.
Isaac Chong Wai’s Touched: Rouge—Fluttering Fan uses body imprints to trace the movements of the ill-fated lovers of Stanley Kwan’s classic Hong Kong film Rouge (1987), collapsing longing, colonial history, and the ephemerality of human life into a single, reflective surface.
