The Living Space by the Appearance-the Fantasy of the Fragments and the Absence's Cover

Temporarily unlisted

In this thesis I discussed my artworks with movies, poetry, and novels as

references. My artworks were created with experimental films and video

recordings and through games and acts my feeling are recalled. By discussing

my artworks, I tried to study my own thoughts and behaviors.

Images make things alive, because they have certain characteristics that can

warp time and recompose memory fragments. Those images have different

possibilities that can be fabricated and extended the forms of different

continuums which have their own beginning and endings, or never end

actually. Therefore, I create my art pieces with experimental films which are

poetic or essayistic to discover myself. In spite of the flexibility of time of

space in my pieces I still cannot rewind or pause the real time. I am not able

to return back to my childhood, so I am playing the role in the between.

I live in the real world where there is another “me” hidden behind my own

appearance. The appearance is an interface that exists on the surface of the

body. It can be seen and be touched and fence off the outside world like a

wall. It is also an entrance into my body; like a switch allows me to change

between inside and outside of my appearance at will. It seems like there are

two “me” switching in between and both experiencing the “us”. I want to feel

time floating and catch the details between images, so that my fantasies could be narrated.

Body is like an interface. I allow myself to stay within and look out from

inside the body. It has the indefinite trait that coincides with the existence of

time and reality I was trying to convey in my works. It’s like a game of the

fantasy and reality; a game to discover and release our neglected talents. In

the flat of transforming all of us can have a never-ending story and play.
