A creature on the threshold between human and monster stages a wedding ceremony with itself. It splits its body in half and walks down the aisle, stepping over its own falling organs. Two ringed hands clasp together, a kiss is exchanged, and the ritual concludes. As bodily rupture and wedding ceremony intertwine, the piece defamiliarises the formal structure of marriage as an institutional rite.

Director Bio
Hansol Ryu is an artist working across video, drawing, and installation. Influenced by the visual language of gore cinema and comics, she stages performative images of bodily damage and transformation, using everyday objects and exaggerated special effects, exposing the absurdities embedded in social and gender norms through grotesque humour.
