# Eccentric Editorial Exhibits On the Paper by Ina Jang is a Solo Show That Questions the Subjects By Meghan Young | Published 2012-09-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/on-the-paper-by-ina-jang References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/1670655/ina-jang-dissects-the-art-of-fashion-photography) & [inaphotography](http://inaphotography.com/) The [solo photo exhibit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fangirl) titled On the Paper by Ina Jang, an artist and photographer living and working in Brooklyn, New York, is comprised of eccentric editorial work. Shot against [minimalist pastel backdrops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks), the quiet images often employ grade-school craft tools such as glue and [construction paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti) to transform classic fashion images into something a lot more quirky. On view at Ku Gallery in Taipei until September 23rd, 2012, On the Paper by Ina Jang alludes to the two-dimensional while residing in the three-dimensional world. Listing '80s and '90s provocateurs like Martin Margiela as her inspiration, Jang says, "I admire how he visually deconstructed the language of fashion." She goes on to reveal, "I allow the viewers to question whether they are truly subjects or merely objects." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eccentric Editorial Imagery:** The use of unconventional, playful materials in fashion photography presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in artistic branding and advertising. - **Minimalist Backdrops:** The rise of minimalist photo backgrounds in art exhibits sparks a creative disruption for the architectural design industry to experiment with thematic settings in their designs. - **The Blurred Line of Subject Object Relationships in Art:** The ambiguity of subject object relationships in art provides potential for exploration within the intersection of psychology and technology, particularly in the field of AI development. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Photography:** The unconventional use of grade-school materials in photography creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in image creation and branding in the fashion industry. - **Art Exhibits:** Art exhibitions incorporating eccentric concepts and themes continue to disrupt mainstream tastes and trends in the art industry. - **Architectural Design:** The trend of minimalist photo backgrounds in art exhibits challenges the architectural design industry to explore innovative thematic settings in their work. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Abstract Geometric Solo Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impermanent-state-of-being.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Kyoto-Inspired Solo Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ode-to-kyoto.md) - [Intricate Fiber Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threadwork-women-redefining-fiber-arts.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Romantic Debut Solo Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-room-on-east-79th-street.md) - [Playful Abstract Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shape-of-play.md) - [Sculptural Gallery Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kennedy-yanko.md)
