Interstice of reviving memory series:
These works talk about the absence of losses in the crack in memories flooding back in my daily life.
These series are layers of memories that became extinct after being generated by events derived from specific locations composing the framework of urban social environment. That is, they originate from the artist’s behavior of recording life and environment at points of time on spatial coordinates where the artist stays, as to phenomena of specific domains incorporated in spite of ourselves. Therefore, the series explore the changes of the earth felt among negative/positive structures, and at the same time, they phenomenalize the obsession of the artist’s individual consciousness that reacts to such environment. In addition, these vague memories, which failed to penetrate my experience in their entirety, are newly complemented by individual ways of looking and common points of view.
While the memories may have commong meanings or vary from person to person due to individual differences, the artist will not put limits to everyone’s way of looking at a specific spot. That is, the artist intends to talk about the absence of losses with ‘me’ and ‘all’ in the crack in reviving memories deriving from structural environment.
Part 1: A village of water – across the river, ‘Small Town’ series
Part 2: A village of trees – echo, ‘Resuns’ series
Part 3: Space of transformation – overdevelopment, ‘OVER-DEVELOPMENT’ series
Methods of expression
Mixed expressions are carried out through reproduction and imagination as to material–immaterial urban world phenomena that are restructured and evoked individually and through collective memories derived from each location. The obsessive ego of circulating consciousness is phenomenalized through the mixture of analogue photographing and digital drawing.
