Have You Had a Burger?
While creating pieces for this series, Hyun Jung reflected on the various mundane yet charged questions she has received throughout her years spent in the United States:
Have you had a burger?; Can you paint my nails?; Can you help me with my math homework?; Have you been to North Korea?; Do you have an English name?, etc.
In Korea, it is said that when asked foolish questions, it is virtuous to respond with wisdom. Have You Had a Burger? Is the artist’s response to questions that she was not able to answer in the past.
Have you had a Burger? consists of kinetic, interactive, and performance art.
