Round Song

(2024)
Round Song (2024) at South Block, Glasgow


<Round Song> is a metaphor for the inevitable overlaps of lives. Like round songs that repeat certain patterns of melodies and lyrics, our lives are often shaped by repetition, reflection, and variations of the lives of others. This series of works indicates the moment related but also separated from the others through images of windows and overlaid structures.

"Wherever you go, just don't go too far away from me."

From the mother of the mother of my father (1910 - 1965)

"You move. You are being moved. You are movement. Inseparably. Indefinitely."

From Dictee

by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha (1951 - 1982)
