Artist Statement
Work begins by observing and discovering things that are difficult to discern because it is easy to forget and trivial in people’s lives. These objects are not simply objects that are visible or other nouns that are easy to define. Everything that varies according to the difference in perception and purpose of the subject of the work depending on the environment, belongs to the object. I perceive “movement” of an object that comes out of itself such as motion and change of its existence, and resolve upon it.
A certain flow(action/force) of an entity, surely in existence but hardly discernible, is rarely recognized because of the human tendency to easily adapt and familiarize with the surrounding environment.
In order to present new perspectives and questions to the audience within a familiar environment, there needs to be a maximum point of the interactive energy between the audience and the object, so a point of action where transformation takes place. Designing a ‘well- constructed device’ that can attract audiences at the moment / situation where vigorous interaction takes place between the audience and object completes the form of the work. The outward form of the work is only ‘tool’ and ‘device’.
Such device requires the audience to actively interact with the work, through which arises meaning. Because this process is not immediately recognizable, it demands the audience to dedicate more time and effort in staying focused. However, after a certain moment, the audience will be able to refresh his/her own emotion/senses/thoughts based on experiencing and reacting to such transformative action. At the same time, I am experimenting and proceeding different ways to present such experience effectively through installations.
