"Yena Young's installation shifts the ground beneath the pavilion, imagining it as an accidental capstone over a fossilized mystery involving a headless organism unearthed in 1993."
"The exhibition Little Toad, Little Toad: Unbuilding Pavilion reflects on spatial boundaries through subtraction and reinterpretation rather than expansion, marking the pavilion's 30th presence at the Biennale."
The Korean Pavilion at the 2025 Venice Biennale showcases 'Little Toad, Little Toad: Unbuilding Pavilion,' a reflective exhibition marking its 30th year. It focuses on self-unbuilding and reconfiguring the pavilion into a porous structure influenced by history, nature, and the human experience. Curated by the Curating Architecture Collective, the exhibition features site-specific installations by various artists exploring themes of construction and absence. Yena Young's piece, based on speculative science, imagines a hidden narrative connected to the soil beneath the pavilion, engaging visitors in a dialogue about architecture, time, and existence.
