| Chang Young-Hae once created controversial work that ridiculed authorities in Korean society but now works with Marc Voge as the YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES. The texts are completely synchronised with music and remind us of the mumbling of a gloomy person in contemporary society. |

| He is one of the new generation artists appeared late 1980s. His historical and social work that employed new technologies such as sound and video was once shown in the 4th Asian Art Show (1994) in Fukuoka. In FT3, he shows a video work featuring funny PR characters produced by local governments in Korea and another work that gives a narrative to another PR character which has nothing to do with the original context for which the characters were produced. He seems to indicate the potential of non-fashionable urban culture may counteract against globalisation. |

| He makes a series of still photographs under the theme of daily violence (‘inner Fascism’). Even if it is a story of High School students’ love affairs or a story of a proxy war of the Cold War, the victim of the violence is always the artist himself. While laughing away these ‘inner Fascism’, the artist seriously tries to accept the history and reality of Korea using his own body. |

| Using found objects, clay and cheap material, the artist makes tiny creatures to display in a specific location. By his humanistic approach to the very tiny trivial creatures, he breathes life and emotions into the creatures, and audience will naturally be drawn into the smallest dramas that they play out. |
