《When Ero·Gro·Nonsense Combines Nonlinearly》, 2023.05.11 – 2023.05.31, Arting Gallery
From the 2023 work Park’s Land 27—where the veil encircling the Virgin Mary's head meets the protruding snout of a wolf placed squarely at the center—I begin to trace the artist’s aesthetic clues. The recent series titles, announced as periodical themes, are gathered under “Park’s Land.”

《Drowsy Floating》, 2019.12.20 – 2020.01.21, Artertain
Seven billion… perhaps more. That is the current estimate of humanity’s population. Seven billion people inhabit this Earth. But do we even wonder exactly how many there are? For now, the most immediate reality is simply that I exist, living my life in this moment. Perhaps all that my life pursues—or is already pursuing—are the easiest, most accessible ways of living. Seven billion people coexist on Earth, each carving out territories, or systems.

Trainning
The exhibition's signature work, Training, is a video piece featuring the artist and two Jindo dogs. The artist filmed the two dogs (Mulder and Doggett) over a period of one month, feeding them and training them to follow commands like "sit," "stand," "down," and "lie down."

Seven Vertices
Seven Vertices is a work that was exhibited in the group show 《Faces We Want to See》 at the Lee Han-yeol Memorial Hall (October 7–November 30, 2015). The exhibition selected six individuals who had been sacrificed during the process of democratization or in popular struggles for livelihood, paired each with one of six artists, and presented their lives through each artist’s distinct mode of expression.

Between the Fascination of Metamorphosis and the Drift of Imagery
A single phrase, like a single photogram, must be capable of delivering a rich range of visual stimuli within an unceasing flow of motion. (…) Every verb on every page appears in the present tense, as if all events were unfolding right before our eyes. New incidents rush in, and all distance between one and the next collapses into immediacy.

Same=Different
This work uses the phonetic and cosmological principles of Hangul’s invention, and its process of development into a global writing system through discrimination, contempt, hardship, and overcoming since its creation in the fifteenth century, together with Koi’s Law, which states that the size of an individual is determined by its environment, to show—through a found-footage technique—why Hangul has come to be positioned within global culture at this moment.
