Landscape without Land
(2022 & 2023)
Landscape without Land (2022) at Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow
Scottish Landscape Awards (2023) at City Art Centre, Edinburgh
<Landscape without Land> is a series of works created from 2020 to early 2023 under the influence of COVID-19. Two seemingly separate locations, such as Korea and the UK, are 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 cultural spaces, all living things are not static.
The artist asks: '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?'
