David Hodge and Hi-Jin Kang Hodge have created video installations for artistic exhibitions around the world. Their pieces typically blend editorial materials and innovative uses of technology to explore complex human and social questions. Above all, they create cohesive work that identifies foundational principles and expands on them through multiple viewpoints.
Artist‘s Statement
We are a husband and wife team of filmmakers and video artists. We are passionate about creating stories and connection with others. We are concerned about the world and how we live in it. We look for ways in our art that bring connection, joy, provocation, stimulation, inspiration.
Our pieces typically blend editorial materials and innovative uses of technology to explore complex human and social questions. Some of our work is purely a visual exploration. We have shown ocean views on the side of a 40-story office building and were the first to use video iPods in an artistic installation.
In our work, we pose questions that probe individual hopes and resolutions. We hear the conversation of humanity striving for the comfort of permanence, all while recognizing that everything constantly changes around them.
