Liberation and openness, 2016
By accepting my unstable appearance at some point, paradoxically, I was able to relieve some of my anxiety, But I could not completely give up categorizing and suppressing myself rationally. I began to think about liberating myself from obsession with reason. I live in a society ruled by a rational order and can not escape completely in that order. So even if I suppress my reasonably insecure inner self in order to comply fully with the order, symbols continue to be created and circulated in my society, and they constantly irritate repressed feelings and desires. I wanted to free myself from these confused points and dismiss my obsession with the reason I have.
I started this work with questions about my existence and identity since 2012, but I did not want to emphasize it. Through various body expressions and shooting methods, images of work do not stubbornly claim a single meaning or value.Through this ambiguity, I can break fixed ideas that were strictly applied to myself and I wanted to free me from its dominance, and I was willing to accept all of my unstable and constant changes. In this work I float and drift in a world that can not be defined clearly. I do not intentionally control me in the process of drifting, but just open. uncertain space and time, I liberate myself from my obsession with reason, and objectivity and reason in this work can no longer be a firm standard.
I was able to identify myself in this world, not in a fixed order, but in a constantly changing anxiety, not in conviction but in unclearness, not in a firm sense but in a broken flesh. In this work, I am not dominated by a firm rational order, but the boundary with the outside becomes blurred, unstable and contradictory. In the past, I could not acknowledge this contradiction and suffered or compromised myself, In this work, if I admit my subject, not the object, and recognize the contradiction, I thought that I could make my judging criteria free from the alternatives of internal subjectivity and external world. From this idea, I believed that through this work, I could truly break and liberate myself, rather than making a clear conclusion. With this idea, possibility and not limitation. I am only looking at expanding infinitely without concluding my work.
