Something Physical - Ireland

This body of work was the result of a 3 month residency at The National Art Studio Changdong, re-worked and installed at The Signal Arts Centre in Ireland. The Irish exhibition of this work contained additional works (miniatures, 'I am one', 'connect') that were produced in Ireland on reflection of the Korean residency experience.

The Signal Arts Centre exbibition of this body of work invites us to enter a space for contemplation and reflection on both our environments and ourselves. This installation encorporates elements of spaces from the cityscape of Seoul and other similar urban surroundings to construct romantic and affecting images on space and time, through a combination of video and installation and using a hybrid of the natural and the synthetic found in these urban settings, (trees and telegraph poles), in front of a video image, to link the virtual space of the video to the physical space of the viewer.

All kinds of historical information and trace are intentionally omitted, just leaving the image with silhouette as an avatar, allowing us to feel a sense of timelessness, detached from everyday life. In this timeless space, the viewer has the experience of navigating through the hybrid objects that interrupt their path, provoking an awareness of their own physical presence within this space. It is this blending of the virtual video space and the viewers' physical space in the gallery that completes this installation.
