Something Physical - Korea

This body of work was the result of a 3 month residency at The National Art Studio Changdong, Seoul and exhibited at the National Studio Gallery Changdong and The Kumho Mesum of Art, Seoul.

In the gallery space, large video image is projected onto the wall. In this video, a figure stands still making no attempt to communicate or acknowledge anything or anyone in her own environment, or in the galley space. This slow-paced video begins with a shot of the figure standing, just filling the frame and after a straight cut, a wider view is revealed. On the floor of the gallery, a number of sculptures approximately one meter in height are spaced apart, lit by spotlights. These objects are a hybrid between trees typically found in an urban environment and telegraph poles. They are connected to each other by threads/cables, forcing the viewer to navigate through them in the space. The lack of communication in the video and the overloading of communication in the sculpture create a tension between the two elements of the installation.

When exhibited at The Kumho Musem of art, a second video, shot in Iceland's natural landscape, was included in the exhibition.
