GOYONA JUNG & YANG YI 

8 November - 27 December 2025 

OPENING & MEET THE ARTISTS 

Saturday, 8 November 2025 | 5-7 PM 

Gaia Art Space

 2101, Landmark South, Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong 

The Hartz Project is pleased to present In Mist, a duo show by Korean artist Goyona Jung and Paris-based Chinese artist Yang Yi, at Gaia Art Space Hong Kong. 

The exhibition opens on November 8, 2025, and will be on view through December 27, 2025. 

Within this silent veil, boundaries dissolve—what is seen, what is remembered, what is imagined—melting into a collective mist. 

The space between clarity and obscurity softly whispers, inviting exploration into the realms where memories flow and dissolve. 

Yi’s landscapes drift as spectral veils—ephemeral, delicate visions that hover at the edge of perception. Her multiple experiences of relocating with her family since childhood have blurred her sense of place and memory, infusing her work with a haunting fluidity that oscillates between the seen and the unseen. 

Goyona’s figures, partial and faceless, become silent witnesses—fragments trapped in a liminal space, evoking a quiet transition between presence and absence.In this suspended realm, personal stories intertwine with universal echoes, as form and loss seamlessly blend, surrendering to the gentle tyranny of uncertainty. 

Stories here are born in hushed tones—half-formed, half-forgotten—waiting to be touched, felt, lost again in the endless dance of the intangible. 

Allow yourself to drift into the mist—an undefined space where thoughts shimmer, memories fade, and the unseen becomes hauntingly alive.

About the Artists  GOYONA JUNG B. 1973, Seoul, South Korea Lives and works in Seoul, South Korea

Goyona Jung is a Korean artist whose work probes the complex psychology of self-exposure and identity construction within the digital landscape. 

She has engaged in projects both in Korea and internationally, notably through her initiative Live Cam Painting, which investigates the interplay between media and painting.

 This project not only shares personal memories of everyday life but also provides audiences with real-time glimpses into the daily lives of others. 

Jung’s work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums including Following, Floating Gazes at Peyto Gallery (2024); The Friendliest at Incheon Art Platform (2024), A Glimpse of Our Time at Kumho Museum of Art (2023), and Composing Daily Fragments into Poems at the Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei (2020). 

She has also participated in residency programs at the Nanji residency of the Seoul Museum of Art and the CAN Foundation. 

Her works are part of notable collections, including those of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, the Seoul Metropolitan Government, and the CAN Foundation.

YANG YI B.1993, 

Nanjing, China Lives and works in Paris, France 

Yang Yi graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in 2016 and obtained her Master's degree (DNSAP) from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts of Paris in 2019, where she was awarded the jury prize. She also received the Prix des Amis des Beaux-Arts de Paris. She currently lives and works between France and China. 

Yi’s artistic practice explores the relationship between the authenticity of images and memory, largely expressed through her paintings. 

Her recent works depict landscapes of indeterminate locations, often veiled in translucent layers. 

The ambiguous titles of her works indicate a subtle form of guidance while allowing them space to project their own experiences and memories. 

Since childhood, Yi has relocated multiple times with her family, and her cross-cultural experiences blur her perception of place and memory, prompting her to build a world suspended between imagination and reality. 

Light has emerged as a central motif in Yi’s recent creations. Its intangible, ephemeral nature inspires her to capture it through various mediums, including painting, fresco and paper. 

Her visual works are often placed in diverse exhibition spaces, inviting visitors to engage with her narratives.

 Through years of exploration, "light" has evolved into both a subject and a conduit -- opening pathways to the reality she seeks to create, for herself and for her audience.
