Ce que j'espère en exposant la fenêtre de Corée en France
Exposer les fenêtres de Corée à Paris ? : je me demande quel effet qu'on puisse y avoir. Mon travail n'est pas tant de proposer un beau paysage ou une belle vue de fenêtre que de montrer une vue à partir du regard d'un roi coréen. J'essaie d'imaginer l'effet du déplacement de cette vue à un autre endroit et souhaite que les gens qui la regard puisse en partager lorsqu'ils s'approchent à une autre culture.
Carrousel du Louvre(꺄호셀 드 루브르)에서 한국의 창을 전시하면서 바라는 점
_과연 파리라는 공간에서 한국의 창이 보여졌을 때, 어떤 영향을 미칠지 궁금했습니다.
그저 아름다운 풍경의 창이라기 보다 ,한국의 왕이 바라보시던 시선을 다른 공간에 옮겨놨을 때의 가능성을 생각하고 싶었고, 그것을 보는 사람들이 다른 문화에 대해 접근을 할 때, 누군가가 바라보던 시선을 조금이나마 느낄 수 있었으면 하는 마음으로 작업했습니다.
Gyeonghoeru Pavilion(National Treasure No. 224)
This pavilion, built on the pond west of Gangnyeongjeon, the king's living quarters, was where the king threw feasts for foreign envoys or his court officials. The name means that the king is capable of handling national affairs only when he has the right people around him, it was used on joyous occasions.

Someone's window Series
"Someone's Window" is a project about respect.
It all started from my humble wish to have a moment of inspiration with the master of the room, looking through his/her perspective.
For this moment of inspiration and transcendence of time and space, I wish to share it with the viewer.

_Designers in Residence 2nd
2nd Spatial Exploration at MoA to provide assistance for participating artists.
Like their predecessors, the 2nd part artists became the audience/observers in the gallery with the same theme for two months, and utilized the building itself as the theme, which was designed by architect Rem Koolhaas.
"Someone's Window"
_He was looking outside from his window
He spent a lot of time in the space and people respected him
For the fact that I can see as he saw and the desire that I could see through his eyes
made me wish to keep his window in my space.
By attaching "Someone's window" on the wall instead of paintings, you could feel different atmosphere in the space.
The focuses of these designer-turned artists Byoungil Choi, Min-Kyu Choi and Heewon Kim, who were selected for the second part of this program in 2011, were going behind the space of this white cube- shaped gallery.
They dared to include the gallery windows part of their work, remove the boundaries between outside landscaping and inside building, and even bring personal luggage. The "non-placeness" and "timelessness" exuded by the white cube were seen nowhere.
The theme of the Spatial Exploration at MoA provided the opportunity or limitation for physical workframe, but not inside art. With no governing concept, each of the art pieces were set free as an independent term under the gallery providing itself a material. As it turns out, each item shaped a direct connection with others, and at their core was the event peaked. It was just like an early-morning farmers' market on a weekend.

Tranboundary
_We live in a world of different boundaries. We constantly expand and divide our borders. However we are caught in our own made limitations. Now we are in a time of change and new thinking. We are in a time for crossing boundaries.
“Ti Porta”
_ is a series of photographs of gallery hallway doors showing door frames and connected space through the openings. Ordinary doors transform into a new space and gives a sensation to the viewer as if he/she were transcending space and time.

“Ti Porta”
_is a series of photographs of gallery hallway doors.
Every photograph from the collection shows a door frame and the connected space through the opening.
As an interior designer, I noticed the fact that doors were way too neglected,
and decided to give them significance by attaching photographic prints from my photograpy collection "Gallery Doors".
As a result, an ordinary door which resembles closed space becomes open and gives a new sensation to the viewer as if he/she were transcending space and time.
This approach is to give the viewer reminiscence and nostalgia as well a feel of transcending space and time.

A door is an essential element in most spaces.
But normally people do not care much about choosing doors.
Unfortunately, while choosing it, what they consider are only matching colors or materials.
By attaching a photo of doors on the surface, you could feel a different atmosphere in the space you are in as if you are in a gallery or in another space.
These are the projects which I took photos of while working as a magazine photographer since last year.
Whenever I had the chance to travel around Europe, I took photos of doors in galleries and museums which had other continuous doors and pathways inside.
As a result, I wanted to inspire people after they came back from their journey to keep the memory of the space they were once at.
Flower has a lot in common with love
Like each person has a different taste,
Like people love for the loved ones,
Like the beauty changes as time passes,
And that as time passes we fade into nature and become apart of it and so on
I truly hoped that the flower which was gifted by someone or gifted to someone
Wasn’t just a flower that blooms and fades away
But a flower that can be kept in a space as a piece of artwork with a different meaning
people love for the loved ones
As if your loved one has left
But still in one part of your heart the memory remains……
Composed by - canvas, cable tie
1_ Put the flower on the canvas
2_ Flip 180 degrees and hang
3_ Dry in the sunlight
4_ Hang in a space as an artwork
5_ In the end, cut off the cable tie
_trace of flower remains.
