Residency project: PULL, 2022, Installation view at Seoul Art Space Geumcheon, Seoul
During the residency in Seoul Art Space Geumcheon, the people I met shared their stories with me. I processed these narratives and reimagined different roles through objects.
They might come into existence for the purpose of ‘being something.’ Yet, as the usages of the objects changed, I started to notice that their original meanings might also have new opportunities to be experienced differently. With this in mind, I wish to write for the contradictions and gaps among these different meanings and to build a bridge for them to converse with each other in this collection.
The ordinary, to some, means the accustomed everyday life, but, to some, the unachievable goal despite all the efforts they have made. The latter, like migratory birds, are used to looking for the direction where they belong while flying.
