Decoding Dictatorial Statues, a project by Korean graphic design researcher Ted Hyunhak Yoon, is a collection of images and texts revolving around the different ways we can look at statues in public space. Ted Hyunhak Yoon’s visual analysis centers around the term ‘visual design journalism’ and attempts to find rules and phenomena which exist within, and lay behind, dictatorial statues. Sparked by a database of images that when organized becomes a tool for decoding, the publication Decoding Dictatorial Statues offers a real time analysis, an empirical understanding and data for reflection on gestural politics. While the work forefronts the actual status of statues, the various texts, collected by writer Bernke Klein Zandvoort, revolve around the different ways we can look at statues in public space. How can we decode statues and their visual languages, their object hood and materiality, their role as media icons and their voice in political debates?
