At Songzio’s Galerie Noir in Seoul, Homo Animalis by artist Sungermone is on view from March 20th to May 29th, 2026. The presentation continues Songzio’s cultural platform, where fashion, art, and spatial experience converge within a single atmospheric setting.
The premise begins with a contradiction: humans claim rationality, yet their behaviour often circles back to primal survival instincts. Through hybrid figures that fuse human and animal traits, the works invert the logic of the zoo, placing the viewer under the same gaze they direct outward.
Beneath this tension sits a more disquieting reading of contemporary life—one shaped by competition, desire, and invisible hierarchies. The distance between civilisation and nature narrows, exposing a shared terrain where instinct and reason coexist in uneasy balance.
Installed at Galerie Noir, Songzio’s art-fashion space in Dosan Park, Seoul, the exhibition occupies a venue that operates between gallery and flagship store. Rooted in a 30-year creative presence in the district, the space signals a renewed chapter for Songzio, where exhibition practice and fashion culture operate within a single curated environment.
Read the conversation with Jay Songzio, who shares insights on leading a Korean fashion house on the global stage, blending artistic and entrepreneurial mindsets, and translating cultural contrasts into contemporary design.
