Hyunmin Ryu expresses the concept of failure and imperfections arising from life in a minimal expression. His understated expressions take a strategy that maximizes the effect through small interventions or ready-made applications. His work is done through a variety of media including photographs, videos, and installations. In particular, in his installation works, the use of ready-made objects creates a different context by simply placing them in the exhibition space. Through this, the artist presents institutional criticism in a personal and somewhat emotional dimension.
His recent photography work is focused on the limitations and imperfections of depicting a person in a photograph.
He won several award include Lensculture critique's choice 2022 and Gomma grant.
