paralysis – The 《paralysis _麻痹》(Beijing, 2012) is based on experience from one’s own physical paralysis, it was the beginning of the theme of ‘Main from the body, not from the spirit.’

Recently, the painting and materials were attached and detached from the brush, and various dispensing methods were used to create shapes, which were seen as an opportunity for physical experience rather than visual contact. In the 40 days of Shanghai residency project in 2018, in the form of <corner-1> the difference between the texture and surface, the mass and weight of the work, the very simple materials found during the process. Many figures are very raw things that cannot reach the perfect, perfect match, and are interested in this mixed up quality and shape.

In this way, <corner-1> tells a story that enables the audience to focus on the process of the appreciation work, that is, ‘the act of visual reading,’ rather than on the result of such configurations. In doing so I connect the external formal experiment itself to the dimension of an internal subject matter.

Finally, I will produce using form ‘the act of visual reading’ to the ‘placement’ and ‘composition’ works for six months during my stay in the city of Berlin.

<ATTACHING & DETACHING – Berlin> 

<ATTACHING & DETACHING> project consist of three parts of Beijing (RED GATE RESIDENCY), Shanghai (STUDIO GALLERY) and Berlin.

I live and work in China who is South Korean. I have been in Beijing for studying at Tsinghua University and working at Huan-tie and Hei-qiao studio from 2006 to 2012. And living in Shanghai from 2012 to now. Recently I living in Shanghai and Seoul. I have a map of diary through living and working everyday in China during 12 years. Including the other country cities which are Frankfurt Germany in 2006.

Using diary try to make the map that is going to the trip of PAST World. By the way, I try to drawing about tension of the time that is changing or not the neighbors and by myself in the same place of Germany (not the Berlin city but I remember to Germany’s deep cold sensibility feelings). In addition to I try to meet now and the last time was by myself. That is return to attaching and detaching.

Finally, the project’s significance is telling my future about the fear and weak’ s emotions. Also I hope to meeting of the new neighbors in Germany.
