In collaboration with Kim Sangdon
Myeongdu (shaman implement used as a spirit mirror), dancheong (traditional multicolored pigments) on a birch plate, 2017
Installation view, 안녕 安寧 Farewell Kukje Gallery, Seoul, Korea, 2017
The works Bright Stars and Seven Stars, produced in collaboration with Kim Sangdon, bring images of shamanic cosmology with Myeongdu, tool used by shamans to decorate their shrines. In these works, the artist relates tradition to “physical memory” or “tradition-real”, rather than simply a sign or style.
