Fragmentation by Bohyun Yoon
2003
Dimensions Variable
Materials: live models, plexiglas mirrorProject Venues:
2003 Woods-Gerry Gallery, Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RIThere are unlimited numbers of reflections of truncated legs, torsos, and arms, which visually connect and create a linear pattern. This provocative image of the depersonalized body is juxtaposed with the development of modern science that enables people to alter their appearance through surgeries or cloning.
The cover art for The National’s upcoming album “Trouble Will Find Me” is a cropped and rendered image of this picture from artist Bohyun Yoon’s installation piece titled Fragmentation.
For their last album, “High Violet”, The National used sculptor Mark Fox’s piece titled The Binding Force.

Great story about a playlist, which you can enjoy above (if reading in your dashboard, click through for the playlist).
First, a little background information for this anecdote. I have a playlist of songs by The National that I listen to at the lowest possible volume before I go to sleep every night. This playlist consists of the following 5 songs, in the following order:
- Exile Vilify, Single
- Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks, High Violet, Track 11
- Green Gloves, Boxer, Track 5
- Racing Like A Pro, Boxer, Track 10
- Gospel, Boxer, Track 12
The order is important! Seriously. I tried multiple variations. (Side note: I’m not crazy, this order is the only one that worked for me for some reason…)
Soooo, I’m usually out cold mid-way through “Green Gloves” or “Racing Like A Pro”, but last night I made it all the way to “Gospel”. And then I swear I forgot to keep breathing. It was like everything just stopped and I was floating in the song. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more peaceful in my entire life.
To The National: Thank you.
