About Ommah

The artwork titled “Ommah” was created by the artist Nam June Paik in the year 2005. It belongs to the Neo-Dada art movement and is categorized under the genre of installation.

The artwork features a traditional Korean hanbok, specifically the upper garment known as a jeogori, rendered in a translucent, light-pink fabric. This garment is elegantly draped over a horizontal rod, evoking a sense of cultural heritage and simplicity. Embedded within the fabric of the hanbok is a small television screen displaying visuals, combining traditional elements with modern technology. This fusion of old and new is characteristic of Paik’s style, serving as a commentary on the intersection of cultural history and contemporary digital media. The juxtaposition of the delicate, hand-crafted clothing with the luminous, technologically advanced screen creates a striking visual and conceptual contrast, inviting viewers to reflect on the evolution of art and communication.
