Oil Pressure Vibrator

Geumhyung Jeong is a South Korean artist who’s interested in the human body and the objects that surround it—in the blurred boundaries between who controls who, what controls which. She’s developed a particularly strange fascination with the excavator and its movement. And, in Oil Pressure Vibrator, she wields that heavy machinery to break into the complexities of sexuality.

Jeong’s quest is narrated live (with English subtitles)—interwoven with performance, documentary film, and genre-defying video work. Somehow her journey gets more literal and abstract onstage. Still, for all its wildness, it’s also a contemplative, starkly beautiful show. A radically original work that burrows right in.
