关于此艺术家

I am interested in re-discovery of everyday things that are around me.
Or should I say I am interested in re-interpretation of trivial
things in my everyday life?

In my work, I attempt to show something special or uncanny about these
"trivial" things by discovering what is hidden behind them. My
fascination of these "trivial" things is driven from how I personally
identify with them; it is very possible that they somehow speak on
behalf my hidden emotions, thoughts, desires, vulnerabilities and
state of alienation.

When I recognize "sameness" between the "trivial" things and myself, I
experience a sense of sympathy or even a sense of ecstasy. This
recognition prompts me to transform those things by giving them "life"
so that they, like me, can share a sense of existence, even if this
process of transformation may come from my egotistical desire to
obtain a sense of existence and (or) to transform myself.

The storm lasted through the night.

The storm lasted through the night.
This work looks like a simple flat screen monitor, however, it is made of Coca-Cola and used engine oil.

A storm on the sea

2006
Aluminum frame with acrylic, motor, two different liquids, magnetic
104cm x 77cm x 13cm

A storm on the sea
This work looks like an oil painting or a photograph. However, it is made of everyday things: Coca-Cola and blue fabric detergent. These two liquids are placed in an acrylic box with a sensor and a motor. When the viewers go closer to the work, they trigger the sensor and the motor starts to create a gentle storm in the box like a storm on the sea. When the viewer leaves the work and the motor stops running, the distorted image due to the storm goes back to its original calm and still state.

A storm in a teacup

2006
old pub table, English tea in a teacup, four sensors, motor, magnetic
80cm x 60cm x 60cm

A storm in a teacup
This work has a motor and four sensors under the table. On top of the table, there is a cup of tea. When a person approaches the work, the sensor triggers the motor and starts to rotate the tea inside the teacup, literally creating a “storm in a teacup”. When someone exaggerates a problem or makes a small problem seem bigger than it really is, we refer to this situation as making a storm in a teacup. However, if one takes a closer look at this storm and all he/she sees the storm, even though the storm exists in a small teacup, it may feel as big as storm on the sea.

THIS IS HOT

2006
welded copper pipes with joints, installed on the wall
139cm x 19.5cm x 5cm

THIS IS HOT
This text work, made of connecting copper pipes and joints, is installed on the wall and it appears as if it is a radiator. Through this work, I would like the audience to re-discover meanings of everyday things/words we often take for granted. The English word, “HOT” holds numerous meanings. For example, this word is used to describe physical heat, having a high or higher than desirable temperature and we refer to this condition as “HOT”. Also when someone is very popular or something is successful, we refer to this state as “HOT”. Due to these meanings, the viewers often feel compelled to touch the work or stand near the work to see whether the work is temperature hot or not. The only the “courageous” viewers who touch the work are rewarded with a gentle humour hidden in the work.

Calmtension

2005
wood slab, hooks, strap
225cm x 350cm x 14cm

Calmtension
The wooden panels of this work appears to be firmly attached to the floor and ceiling. In reality, the wooden panels have 1mm gap from the floor. This work demands a careful observation. These unattached wooden panels move slightly and what appears to be calm and still, the viewers start to experience some sort of tension. I explored the work that have calmness and also tension simultaneously, and then to make the ambiguous feeling between them visible. In the other point, it is kinetic but also static at the same time.
