“Art does not reside in the final product, but in the process through which it comes into being.”
 
This animation was born from a photographic collage originally produced for the painting series Park’s Park 10-1, 2, 3, 4.
 
My first painting series, ‘Park’s Park’, began as an attempt to draw into painting the countless fragments of images that fill our surrounding visual environment. Scenes from films, television, and advertisements are stripped of their original contexts and functions and re-arranged upon the canvas. In that process, once-familiar signs are overturned and reconfigured, acquiring newly inscribed meanings.
 
This work contains a gesture of resistance against the indiscriminate market logic through which the value of art is determined by capital. Confronting the reality that ‘pure art’ operates under the structural influence of capital, I adopted a strategy of turning the ‘entire production process’ leading up to the birth of a single work into individually autonomous artworks.

Mediation and expansion: the ‘Photo collage’ and ‘Drawing (Park's Park 12-1, 2013, Park's Park 10, 2010 etc.)’ as stepping stones toward painting
Metamorphosis and realization: this animation Park’s Land 1, which unfolds the work through movement
 
In this way, the organically interconnected working method points to the attitude of consuming only the final result, while revealing—without omission—the performative sequence through which art comes into being.
