Young-jun Tak's cheoreogrpahic film series will make it's Canaian debut at The Polygon Gallery on January 22, 2026.
Guest curated by Ann Webb, Tak's 20 minute single-channel films combine elements of video art and choreogrpahy to challenge us to reconsider gender expressions, traditional religious beliefs, and intergenerational teaching - learning relationships.
Interlacing classical music, choreography and architecture, Tak's films juxtapose different conditions of beliefs, queer bodies, and movement disrupting conventional boundaries while opening viewers to new ways of thinking, feeling and seeing.
These films are part of an ongoing series that will include seven in total, each relating to a day of the week. The most recent work, Love Was Taught Last Friday (2025), combines traditional woodcarving practice with contemporary dance, searching for harmony in intergenerational exchange.
