"(...) 모두가 상품이 되기 위해 열심히 노력하는데, 소셜 미디어는 이러한 사이클을 악화시킨다. 이것은 매우 지치는 일이다. 예술은 이러한 착취로부터 해방과 사고의 색다른 선택을 제공한다. 최고의 인간적 가치는 상품이 아니라 사고로부터 출발된다.”
– 2021, MAK2, 유이(Yui)와의 대화, 홍콩 마리끌레르 인터뷰 중
Mak2 (b.1989, 중국 홍콩)은 홍콩을 기반으로 활동하는 개념 예술가이다. 작가의 작업은 철학, 미술사, 문화, 사회 정치 환경의 변화, 인터넷과 새로운 기술을 연구함으로써 21세기 문제를 고찰한다. 작가가 구축하는 미적 경험은 유머와 강렬한 탐구심의 이중성으로 구성된다. 그녀는 설치 작품, 회화, 드로잉, 비디오 작업, 유튜브 비디오, 스탠드업 코미디 루틴과 인스타그램 필터를 제작한다.
