Hyunjung LIM
The reconstructed truth can be very diverse. Now, I’m trying to induce every potential possibility through the object. Choosing your own experience from this multiplicity will be the minimal difficulty you would encounter with my art work.
The object interests me because it is a body-experience. It is an extremely ordinary everyday experience where personal and archetypal experiences co-exist. In the interaction of these experiences, objects continue to be united, decoupled, repeated and reproduced, which function in multiple ways throughout different relationships. In this sense, object does not simply mean something tangible, but indicates an expansion of image, sound or virtual space, which is based on our experience. My work is to capture the structures of various objects by analyzing our actions and environment and to achieve a reconstruction of those experiences by assembling deconstructed elements. Through this reconstruction process, this work shows how many various silhouettes exist in the essence of every object in our experience from various places and different timeframes.
Banality is a base that allows the coexistence of diverse experiences and archetypal symbols. It is only relatively different from the particular. Small insignificant objects of our daily lives are closely linked to our reality. An object can represent our desire through endless associations or generate another desire. It shows our thoughts and ideas as the notion of «meaningful object.» Here, the general idea that human dominates and controls objects is no longer in effect. The object has a force that can change its own way our lives. And this force generates desires that shape the practical aspects of our lives. Conflicts between the ‘archetypal experience’ and ‘personal experience’ play a central role in generating an ideology that guides our lives. Thus, the various silhouettes of objects observed in my artwork are the various ideologies of our social lives hidden behind a mask of an object.
