Relationship



At the beginning of this year, I went through a very bad time. During that time, I locked myself in my room. Before that, I hadn't stayed in my bedroom for a long time. Books were scattered throughout the room, placed in disarray, and they seemed like strange but beautiful structures existing in the space.

Because I haven't looked through a book in a long time, it has ceased to be a medium for me to carry information. It becomes an installation of different sizes. I remove the basic information of the book such as text, graphics and colour, and use black and white to express my subtle relationship with the structure of the book itself. The dialogue between the two unfolds in the process of lining up the lines, as I repeat a single action over a long period of time to speak of my emotions and feel the presence of time.
