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.

This project is about reviving the experience of time in our childhood when we have no such preconceptions that integrate with time. I believe that the time in childhood, although we cannot remember, has a significance in understanding the nature of the uncanny present. The lost memories of how we perceive the present by intrinsic knowledge of nature that is far from subjectivity, form a mass creating gravity inside our mind.
The architecture is inspired by a swing set with a treehouse in the playground, where children like to spend time. The structure of swing set is a functional structure for a concrete pendulum in motion while aiming to revive the nostalgic space. Light is a communicating medium between these two objects. The light is used to signify the present moment in terms of physics. Four chain reactions instantly turn on the LED light and audio sound, which then initiate the pendulum almost simultaneously. This motion allows the light passing through the convex lens which converges the light in the center of the space which can be looked through the door viewer from the back.
The Ideal installation takes place in a pitch dark room with a high ceiling. A group of audience, one to twenty, enters at a time into the room. As they walk in, the performance begins automatically as the LED light turns on to illuminate the pendulum. These two sculptures are placed in the center of the space, surrounded by a square fence with the access to the back so that people look at the installation at a distance during the performance. After about three and half minutes, the light and every sound go off. For few seconds, the senses of the audience will create visual and audio illusions in the silent dark space, which will be part of their memory from this experience. After about 30 seconds, the dim lights in the space turn on and turn back off before the next group comes in. The circulation of this installation will be around 5 minutes.
