Notes

New Work at Frieze Seoul 2025

Colonel Reading Letters” is presented at “Frieze Seoul 2025” by Mind Set Art Center. 

Colonel Reading Letters” is a piece of artwork composed of air-dried banana peels. This work reimagines Gabriel García Márquez’s novel No One Writes to the Colonel. In the story, the colonel dresses in his best attire every Friday, waiting for a letter that never arrives. Lo rewrites this absence through her composition: the colonel finally receives the letter and is seen reading it intently. This tender reinterpretation offers resolution to a futile wait, reflecting the power of art to re-create history and literature.

Lo Yi-Chun engages with cultural and geopolitical histories through materials imbued with meaning, often using sun-dried banana peels to create sculptural installations that map Taiwan’s colonial and trade histories across countries.
