Young-jun Tak 卓永俊, Miracles (Twin) 奇迹（孪生）, 2021

The sculptural installation 'Miracles' consists of two identical baby Jesus with open arms resting in wooden cradles. All of their surface is collaged with homophobic flyers and booklets collected in Seoul, South Korea. The propaganda materials are produced and distributed by the country’s outspoken, conservative Protestant organizations in order to offer sexual minorities so-called conversion
therapies and demonize gay culture spaces like clubs and saunas as mere birthplaces of HIV and STIs. Members of such organizations interrupt annual Pride Parades in various cities all over the country and hand out the hateful pamphlets.
Ironically, one of the biggest South Korean Christian sects, Shincheonji, led by “Chairman Lee” who “contains the spirit of the returned Jesus Christ,” was spotlighted worldwide due to their role as “deadly super-spreaders” during the country’s first outbreak of the Covid-19 in 2020. According to an alternative South Korean Christian institution’s research, tens of Christian sect leaders in the country claim themselves as the reincarnations of Jesus Christ.
