Can You Hear Me?
Youngjoo Yoo

07.12.17 15.12.17

Young Joo Yoo is an artist who works from a relational aesthetic, since, for her, the work of art consists of the moments in which she has conversations with other people. The rest is, in her understanding, a record of what was the moment.

In December 2017, during the last ´aceNITE of the year, we could see the edit of her project Can you hear me?. For this piece, Yoo invited six women from different places, professions and ages, and she asked them only one question: “For you, what is it to be a woman?”

In the video, their responses were muted and we can only hear the moments in which they pronounce sounds that are not words. This simple but profound gesture by Yoo generated discomfort in the viewer at first, but once we got used to it, we could observe with much attention the expression of these women, to whom articulating an answer to that question is not easy and, in some cases, touches very intimate places.

The Latin America's Paris

Buenos Aires is Argentine Republic's capital city. With 15,000,000 inhabitants, it is one of the largest cities in Latin America and one of the 10 most populous urban centers in the world. Its cosmopolitan and urban character vibrates to the rhythm of a great cultural offer that includes monuments, churches, museums, art galleries, opera, music and theaters; squares, parks and gardens with old groves; characteristic neighborhoods; large shopping centers and fairs. Here we also find a very good lodging facilities, with accommodation ranging from hostels to five-star hotels of the main international chains. Buenos Aires also show off about its variety of restaurants with all the cuisines of the world, as well as to have cafes and flower kiosks on every corner.

A neighborhood founded on the Jesuit farms in the 17th century

We are located in Colegiales neighborhood where the tree-lined streets, some of which still have their original cobblestones, invite you to walk. Although the apartment buildings advance, low houses still predominate. It is a district of the city where about 20 TV production companies, design studios, artist workshops and the Rock&Pop radio have been located. The neighborhood also has six squares, one of which pays homage to Mafalda, the Flea Market, shops, restaurants and cafes like its neighboring Barrios de Palermo and Belgrano, with which it limits.
