Room (~2019)
The exhibition begins with three videos located in the entrance. The three videos recorded with a relatively abstract touch delineate how those fictional machines in the installation interact with human beings. Then, the observers are expected to walk around the room, combining narratives from actual machine sculptures and maps, and the reminiscents of human life inside the room.
“What is a human being?” “Is it possible that we are properly detached as an individual, or properly integrated into the community?” “What is there, on the border surface between oneself and others?” Evoking those questions in the work, we further speculate alternative possibilities toward individualized humanism seen in Thatcherism and Protestantism in the 20th century.
