Ommah 2005

"Ommah" (2005) by Nam June Paik, a pioneer of video art, features a traditional Korean garment called a "hanbok" transformed into a screen. This work exemplifies Paik's fusion of traditional Korean aesthetics and contemporary technology, challenging conventional art forms and exploring the relationship between culture, technology, and identity. The translucent fabric allows viewers to see a projected image behind, suggesting a complex interaction between tradition and modernity.
