The artist stands facing a War Memorial in Charlottetown. Instead of the stereotypical tourist photo where the tourist poses in front of the memorial, the artist stands facing the monument, and not the camera.

Jin-me Yoon, Touring Home From Away, panel 7a, 1998-9   (152 kb)

Re-working PEI's presentation of itself as the land of the bucolic landscape and Anne of Green Gables, inserting herself as a visitor, Yoon brings attention to representations of place and their impact on our sense subjectivity and belonging.

Jin-me Yoon was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1960. She is a photo-based artist who currently lives and works in Vancouver.
