​Time of Event 

Gallery Dos, Seoul, South Korea
17- 23 June 2020


The title of this exhibition Time of Events refers to what French Philosopher Gilles Deleuze calls ‘time image’ in which sensory motor schema collapses. In this time image, the truth and false, I undoubtably believe, becomes indistinguishable and I am forced to rethink and act differently. This show presents a series of different work expressing the violence of sensation stemming from the dissonance of recognition. Regardless of whether the events are big or small, the images of the work are questions about how I would react against the events.  The events were transformed into the images expressing nervous tension in extreme sports or a sense of loss when objects I hold dear are broken. As a result of these involuntary events, strong belief I have taken for granted are challenged and reshaped. Perhaps, this moment might be a chance to encounter the real which is impossible to recognize with well- organized systems and preconceived ideas. This can be a time for reassembling our lives in an entirely new and different way.
