Jalousie Series
UNSC
Material: fire extinguishers (gas discharged), stainless steel stage, panels, support feet
Six fire extinguishers are arranged in a circle, with their nozzles blocking one another. They symbolize the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) as it exists today. Each extinguisher represents one of the five permanent members and one non-permanent member. As the “world’s fire extinguisher,” the United Nations is expected to prevent conflicts and contain crises. Yet amid the current international situation, its function is rendered ineffective by the competing interests and entanglements among its member states.
The work presents the macro-narrative of the Security Council as portrayed by mainstream media, while also corresponding to the micro-perspective of an individual confronting the images and representations of nations. At the same time, it deliberately refrains from entering into the complexities of political issues, avoiding any direct interpretation of conflicts of interest between states.

Artist
freelance
Kwanho was born in 1997 in Guangdong, China, and completed a master's degree (oil painting) at the Graduate School of Art, Kyoto University of the Arts, in 2025. Based in Kyoto.Everyday objects found in public contexts — ready-mades — serve as material, their functions and symbolic meanings dismantled and reconfigured. The resulting installations present the absurdity that appears constantly in society yet goes unnoticed.

What is Sticker?
Thank you for your support. Every sticker goes directly into making new work and toward my next solo exhibition. The materials are everyday objects found in public — ready-mades. Your sticker becomes part of the next piece.
