1684m - 1684 meters 천육백팔십사미터

Ma souffrance est devenue un ingrédient. 2018 - 

My suffering has become an ingredient. 2018 -

나의 고통은 하나의 재료가 된다 2018 -

​

For the past few years, I have spent time where my existence becomes blurred, desperately tracking my repetitive actions to confirm my own existence. This work presents the period when I barely proved my existence based on those records. When the way to express oneself disappeared, and I had to leave a record of my existence, that's when knitting began. As the length of the knitted thread increased and the record of my existence physically expanded, my anxiety gradually diminished. Fading away in monochrome, I grasped onto the energy that glowed in such intense colors. Thus, the material containing my pain became 1684 meters long. This material, created during my stay in France, experiences how the installation's form changes to fit the unique rhythm and mode of existence of the space where it is geographically exhibited, and how it can flexibly encounter and exist with the material of space.
