PLACE
ARTIST IN RESIDENCE 레지던시 참여작업
When I first arrived in New York, it looked like such an amazing place. Everything you can do and all
of the things you can get. But despite how beautiful New York is, I feel there's a sadness behind its true
face. There are those who work hard and those who have everything given to them. And it was even very
visible in situations such as getting a burger or even riding the subway. I feel like even though the people
there lived in the same place, they're walking on different roa ds with a transparent wall. There are those
who serve and those who are served. They(we) live in the same world but don't always seem to mix
together in the same world. It's as if there is a transparent wall that people couldn't see.
I've made my ideal room within the residency. I tried to find a room which seems to be hidden, as if it
were intentionally set to be a secret. Because I think this hiding place can be shown that people sometimes
are afraid to see the truth that they already know. To come face t o face with what's already so familiar to
them. I'd like to subconsciously touch people deep inside of their mind, as they are within this room to
show the hidden room inside them.
