Hyeejin Bae

The artwork featured in this bibliography is part of the Human Candies series (2024), which includes images from the performance piece Cotton Candies

Artist Biography

Hyeejin Bae is a visual artist from South Korea whose work investigates how global digital communication networks are reshaping social behaviour and human relationships. Her practice centres on themes such as self-identification, consumption, classification, and intimacy, with a particular focus on the psychological structures that sustain digital othering and the commodification of interpersonal connection.

Bae earned her MFA in Sculpture from the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London (2024), and her MA in Art Education from Korea University (2017). She produced significant works including Faces (2023, isomalt installation), Cotton Candies (live performance, 2024), Belly Button Plates (2024), and Jams (2024), continuing her investigation into corporeal classification and digital consumption rituals.

In 2024, she was an artist-in-residence at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin, where she developed and exhibited My Chocolate Collection – a series of chocolate torsos cast from dating partners she was matched with via dating apps during her residency. Beneath its seductive surface, the work critically reflects on how intimacy, desire, and connection are aestheticised, mediated, and consumed in the digital age.

Bae’s art practice frequently employs candies, sweets, and edible materials – such as isomalt, sugar, chocolate, and jam – as metaphors for the seductive but fleeting nature of online interaction.

These substances serve as ‘eye candies’: visually tempting, yet fragile and impermanent, mirroring how bodies and desires are packaged, consumed, and discarded in digital environments. By using materials that melt, rot, or dissolve, Bae foreground’s themes of ephemerality, sensory overload, and the dissolution of meaning in a hyper-mediated world.

Just as sweets are crafted for instant gratification and quick dissolution, Bae’s materials mirror the ephemerality of digital intimacy: relationships that melt away, identities that are performed and discarded, desire that is algorithmically shaped and commodified.

Her artwork does not merely represent these dynamics – it enacts them physically, inviting the viewer into a sensory encounter that ultimately denies lasting fulfilment. This aesthetic bait-and-switch becomes a critique of the digital condition: where intimacy becomes interface, and the self becomes spectacle.

By turning bodies into candies and longing into sugar, Bae frames digital culture as a kind of consumptive theatre, where we devour one another visually, emotionally, and symbolically. Her edible forms, melting and unstable, become objects of longing that frustrate possession – reminding us that in the digital economy of attention and desire, satisfaction is always deferred.

Bae’s recent solo exhibitions, include:

– 2024-2025 My Chocolate Collection, Daegu Art Factory, Daegu (Korea)

– 2024 My Chocolate Collection, Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin (Germany)

– 2023 Sugar-coated Man, Daegu Art Center, Daegu (Korea)

– 2022 Fluid Space, Dalcheon Art Creation Space, Daegu (Korea)

– 2020 Human Candies, Cyartspace, Seoul (Korea)

Artist Statement

This project explores the levity found in modern human relationships. Sweets serve as a metaphor for contemporary desires: a pursuit of pleasure without depth. These glossy, overstimulating confections reflect a preference for instant gratification and surface-level connections.

The sugary, perishable substances in my work evoke the initial pleasure and appeal of online exchanges - connections offered through sleek interfaces and carefully curated profiles. Yet beneath this surface lies a system not built for genuine reciprocity, but for endless circulation, comparison, and categorisation.

In this way, I aim to create a material allegory of digital consumption, where the sweetness of interaction conceals a hollow or extractive core.

Building on these ideas, Cotton Candies emerged as a live performance that embodied the tensions between surface allure and emotional emptiness. By using the property of the medium and staged gestures, I sought to give physical form to the fleeting, consumable nature of digital interactions and modern intimacy.

This performance also explores how modern people communicate in the digital age. I used a cotton candy mask as a metaphor for the way individuals present themselves online - through curated, artificial images shared via smartphones and platforms like Instagram. These images act as copies of the self, replacing physical presence and becoming our primary means of interaction.

The cotton candy symbolises the lightness, sweetness, and artificiality of these digital selves. The pixel-like texture and exaggerated colours reflect how people project only the polished, positive aspects of their lives - reducing emotional complexity and encouraging superficial connections, often through simple gestures like the ‘like’ button. This mask, worn more frequently than our real faces, becomes a new skin - one we start to believe is our true identity.

However, beneath this pleasant façade lies a tension. We feel an underlying anxiety - a vague but persistent desire to see beyond the sugary surface, to uncover the real identity of the other. In my work, this is expressed through the act of biting into another’s cotton candy, disrupting the mask and revealing its fragility. The torn and scattered pieces expose a reality stripped of depth, leaving only the remnants of a manufactured appearance.

This performance questions what is lost when communication is reduced to image, positivity, and ease. It challenges us to consider the cost of emotional detachment and the deeper human need to be truly seen.

Aristotle held that science depends on established genera, yet his philosophy rests on non-generic unities. Being, the core of metaphysics is divided into ten categories; motion, central to physics, into four types; and the good, central to practical philosophy, spans multiple categories. Confronting homonymy at the foundation of his thought, Aristotle argues that it applies to things rather than words. This study explores the intriguing route Aristotle takes to justify attributing homonymy to things.

Another notable forthcoming publication is Les (r)évolutions dans le théâtre européen (XVIIe-XVIIIe siècles), edited by Tomasz Wysłobocki and Ewa Kulak, which explores the dynamic transformations in European theatre across the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, providing fresh scholarly insights into literary and theatrical developments.

These print volumes exemplify Brepols’ ongoing dedication to producing authoritative and meticulously researched works that serve as foundational resources for historians and scholars of the humanities.

Major Reference Works (MRW) & Contemporary Art

The Starkmann ‘Major Reference Works’ bibliographies have been published continuously since the early 1990s. Their main purpose is to inform customers well in advance of new and forthcoming reference and series publications. The subject areas covered span the spectrum of all academic disciplines. Most of the titles listed are highly specialised, and appeal primarily to a select academic audience, but we also include reference works of more general interest.

As well as providing an important source of bibliographic information, we endeavour to make these bibliographies a source of inspiration and enjoyment. Our collaborations with artists aim to present the information in an interesting and aesthetically pleasing context. These projects have included a large variety of art works. Sometimes they are specially created for the bibliography, or they are drawn from the collection exhibited in our offices in London.

A key aim of featuring contemporary art is to introduce the work of emerging artists early in their careers to a wider audience. When this project first began, contemporary art was certainly not as much in the wider public consciousness at it is today. Many of the artists have been featured, at what for them, was an important point in their careers. In presenting their work to a wider audience we wish to support and encourage them on their artistic journeys.

The projects have featured artists from around the world, several of whom have gone on to become very well known. It has been, and continues to be, a great pleasure to discover new talents and to collaborate with them to create a unique and visually engaging bibliography while presenting new book information to our customers.

In addition to the printed bibliography, there are changing art images on our website. There you will also find the electronic version of ‘Major Reference Works’. We hope that you too enjoy our bibliographies. We appreciate your support and thank you for placing your orders for reference titles with Starkmann. Without your orders, comments, and feedback, none of this would be possible. Thank you!
