Jeon Song is a South Korean artist whose practice began with something simple — decorating a childhood diary with stickers. That private act of arranging images, of imposing your own order on a small piece of the world, became the foundation for everything that followed.
Her work now consists of detachable magnetic objects — snowballs, helmets, weapons, skulls — that exist like items in a video game. They are made to be removed from the artwork and placed into the real world: on signposts, apartment walls, courthouses. The gesture borrows from graffiti — not permanent ownership of a space, but the act of leaving a trace and stepping back. What's left behind is just as interesting as what was placed: the hollow where a snowball was, the blue sky revealed after a mine is cleared, the thermal outline left once a weapon is gone.
The work is never finished. It exists in a constant state of rearrangement — fluid, playful, and quietly subversive. Within a world she cannot control, she still heads out with her stickers.
