Dream play
몽환극 Mixed media (PVC, silver pigment) Installation 2006
A very entity of human being begins, even before their longed-for birth into the secular world, at a sanctuary called wombs. By the same token, a creature has innate desire to secure as well as to comfort oneself by means of having its own space.
In light of my experience from toddlerhood, I have expanded the concept of "space." By shedding lights through a small space, I managed to have a colossal room where I could cast metamorphous shadow with my tiny hands. In the expanded space, I could even meet a shadow man who was as tall and as big as I was. At the very moment, the shadow man who coexists in the space starts a performance with me in a mutually shared space.
An audience is not a mere third person. He/she is a proactive subject who appreciates arts, and who enters into the very space of them. Subsequently, the one presents a play at the space, i.e., arts.
It is my hope to unravel the ambiguous boundaries of arts. In so doing, I can transcend the borders between visual, theatrical, and acoustic arts, whereby I can deliver "immediate arts." These arts would individually help curtail multiple steps by means of one's own firsthand experience. We are unwittingly facing a reality. Unlike the world of innocence of child, we are intoxicated by various reasons exuding from the reality. The life is hectic.
I am making efforts to create shelters for the contemporaries. Energy is created. Not by a reality directed towards future but by discovering a truth from an ideal. This energy lays the foundation for one's movement, whether it be mental or physical, for the Individuals including myself.
