"A skin lesion is a physical ailment that appears on the physical
exterior. This skin disease develops a circular form, whether on humans
like in the case of my friend's skin disease, which left a strong
impression on me, or plants, as well as other life forms. This circular
shape is a fundamental form and it is also connected with death; cancer
is also round. I attempted to identify worries and anxiety with the
lesions and to visualize the inner change that takes place in the form
of an explosive rash. The rash is the result of anxiety (the cause of
the lesions), and because of this, worries spring anew.

The
relationship of these things in this piece is expanded in a rotating,
repetitive way. As long as life persists, large and small anxieties,
concerns, worries will inevitably continue, and we face problems,
whether self-inflicted or not, that are sometimes grave like being sick
with the measles. I embodied this emotional state by using a scene from
everyday life and covered it with a rash.






‘Anxiety’
is divided into two parts which consist of photo and video. The
photos signify the outside while the video signifies the inside and
reveals an emotionally heightened state. I separated the conscious
from the unconscious. In the photos, the set and objects which are
painted in pearl-white make the viewer misconstrue/connect the rash
as pearls and shows the inner emotional state (pearls are a product
of suffering). The 3 channel video is an audio performance which uses
the voice of performer Min-hee
Park
.
She repeats the word ‘goen-chan-ta
(it's okay)’
by paring it down to its syllables. This repetition is an
auto-suggestion to comfort oneself. The character in the photo is a
mere silhouette, hidden under a piece of rash-covered cloth while in
the video she reveals her inside through performance. Through this
process, I encourage the audience to get closer to the theme by
feeling a mild sense of discomfort. The performer looks out at the
audience from under the table, which represents refuge, and attempts
at active communication with the outer world."
