This
is my improvisational art work that is another way of expressing the
dynamism besides my wire works.
I participated an international art project in which artists exchanged our houses between Korea and Japan. Then I stayed and worked in one house having a cafe and a gallery space. Everyday I gave drawing workshops to people who relax and make themselves at home in the cafe. The motives for drawings are THE nostalgic images of their houses. While people were drawing, I took pictures of them, one person at a time, posing like relaxing in their houses. I painted their silhouettes from the pictures to the wall in the gallery. In addition, I copied to each of their silhouettes the images of their houses they drew. This is how I completed this installation work presenting people an unseen interrelationship in the local site. After all, what I attempted to do is to make a visual image projecting the relationship between the cafe and the cafe customers, and the relationship among different customers who did not know each other at that time.
