Skip AD (광고 건너뛰기), 2019, (00:16:57), Single-channel video.
Skip AD is the most common phrase I can see on the Internet. Advertisements force me to watch and distract my eyes when I read news and watch images and videos. I am allowed to connect to contents after watching an advertisement on YouTube. But could I get out of the AD pages by clicking ‘Skip AD’? The YouTube video I am watching can be one of the viral marketing made with profit from some companies in a capitalist society. What is true and false? If everyone wants to take the fake, the fake can be a substitute for an inconvenient truth? And why am I obsessed in finding the truth? This video faces made-up reply, statistics, fake news and wrong belief. This video constitutes the duality of the desire for searching true and skepticism about that kind of behavior with representative moving images in a non-narrative way.

Yuli Sung received her BFA from Hong-ik University in Korea and MFA in Sculpture from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). She recently participated in [Fake news] Group exhibition at Missouri Southern State University, and her work was nominated as ‘Best of Show’ with a monetary award. Yuli is one of the finalists of Arte Laguna prize 2018 and Toby Devan Lewis fellowship in 2018. She was an artist-in-residence at Vermont Studio Center and she will also participate in The Wassaic Project in March 2020.
