Telepathy And Landscapes
July 2018
Readymade Objects
Group Exhibition Zeitgeist at the Institut Für Alles Mögliche in Berlin
Close-to-perfect orientation and curatorship at the exhibitions in Germany was my great inspiration during the study trip for Dada. Using readymade objects, I created a series of artworks that function as decorative containers for the gifts I bought for my friends and family.
2018 - 2019
Archival project to explore the beauty of Korea
The ongoing archives of Telepathy And Landscapes (TAL) currently include visual and sound documentation of performances, conversations, objects and field researches.
Since 2018, I became very interested in the origin of my cultural background to research the context of my superego after having traveled around the Europe in summer. I have grown up mostly in a western environment as my parents sent me to a private Christian elementary school in Korea, and I moved alone to Canada at my age 14. Although I never had a good
chance to deeply inquire about my national identity, I always knew by heart that my conscience was deeply rooted in the culture of Korea.
When I came to visit home during the vacations, I had field trips to historic places to trace down my national identity and made a series of collaborative projects to explore the visual aesthetic and philosophy of Korea. In 2019, my friends and I formed an anonymous performance group named TAL (Telepathy And Landscapes), meaning mask in Korean (referring to Hahoe Mask). The purpose of this collective movement is to understand our origin in-depth by researching, performing, and making civic scale art to raise awareness to appreciate the intrinsic value of Korean folk rituals, shamanism, architecture, and natural landscapes.

눈 감으면 보이는 것들:
Seeing With Closed Eyes
2022.2.28 - 3.18
DGB Gallery (대구은행본점)
curated by Art G&G
This show <눈 감으면 보이는 것들: Seeing with Closed Eyes > is based on my visual (or purely psychological) experience. There is a moment when you become consciously awakened in the boundless dimension of dream. We experience the same thing in reality sometimes. Our shadow self is awake and experiencing the absurd illusion of space/time reality, while our conscious ego experiences a sense of timelessness simultaneously. It is like time travel sliding through the infinite valley of memories and feelings, generating an enormous amount of abstract and symbolic imageries that are possible to become real. This world where the shadow self belongs to always fascinate and motivate my painting practice. In this show, my paintings aim to serve as the mediator between the two worlds who can deliver the viewer the uncanny experience of lucid reality.
이번 전시는 <눈 감으면 보이는 것들: Seeing with Closed Eyes > 이라는 주제로 제 시각적 또는 순수한 정신적 경험을 바탕으로 만든 작업들입니다. 시공간의 경계가 없는 꿈 속에서 무언가를 의식적으로 인지할 때가 있습니다. 그 순간 우리는 꿈을 꿈이라고 자각하게 됩니다. 종종 현실에서도 이런 경험을 합니다. 마치 무의식 자아가 현실이라는 의식체계에서 눈을 뜨고 시공간적 환상을 체험하는 듯한. 시간여행을 하듯 꿈과 현실의 모호한 경계선 위에서 기억과 감정이 만들어내는 수많은 상징적 이미지들. 저는 완전히 다른 이 두 세계에 존재하는 의식과 무의식의 자아가 서로 소통하고 조화롭게 살기 위한 훈련으로 그림을 그립니다. 이 그림들을 통해 저와 관객들이 공유하는 무의식 자아와 직감적인 소통을 할 수 있기를 바랍니다.
