Landscape without Land

Landscape without Land is an exhibition which covers a series of works created from 2020 to early 2023 under the influence of COVID-19. Two seemingly separate locations are also connected in an endless light spectrum shaped by the Sun and the Moon. "In between" these two realms, certain beings and things cannot be expressed in terms of borders, language, or the lexicons of categories created by humans. Including the light of drapes made by the two orbs in the sky, waves that move endlessly, and plants and people that continually pass through different spaces, all living things are not static.

I wanted to ask: 'Can we imagine a landscape without land? A landscape that doesn’t fixate on a single place, but instead opens to everyone and places us within a perpetual state of transition?'​​

《대지 없는 풍경》은 2020년부터 2023년 초까지 코로나19의 영향 속에서 만들어진 일련의 작품들을 선보이는 전시다. 겉보기에는 서로 떨어진 두 지역도 태양과 달이 만들어내는 끝없는 빛의 스펙트럼으로 연결된다. 이 두 영역 "사이"에는 국경, 언어, 인간이 만들어낸 범주의 어휘로는 표현할 수 없는 존재와 사물들이 있다. 하늘을 수놓은 두 천체가 드리운 장막 같은 빛, 끝없이 움직이는 파도, 다른 공간들을 넘나드는 식물과 사람들, 모든 살아 있는 것들은 정적이지 않다.

나는 묻고 싶었다. '대지 없는 풍경(landscape without land)' - 한 장소에 얽매이지 않고 모두에게 열려 있으며, 우리를 끊임없는 변화의 상태로 이끄는 풍경을 상상할 수 있을까?

Things between the Sun and the Moon

Arrow of cupid
Conquerors and their shadows
Daydreams
Fungus over corpses
Lost items
Memories about my grandmother
People without name and birthday
Queens, wives of men
Trees that are rooted and unrooted
Vessels that follow the moonlight
Water from your body
