Into the Unnamed Mountain is a mural and installation commissioned by SMB12 that transforms one corner of an underground shopping complex into an imaginary site where nature and culture collapse into a unified field. Along a pedestrian route mainly traveled by office workers, Jeon presents her distinctive mode of landscape­abstraction painting on the walls as well as the windows and floor. This expansive scene projects itself onto the outside and inside of the storefront exhibition space, incorporating both zones into an immersive experience that precipitates a modified experience of contemporary sightseeing and hiking. Combining languages of abstraction and nature, Jeon’s work posits a divergence from everyday life.
