...If the A side is the immediately visible side of the picture plane where the artist shows his or her main style, then the B side is the space beneath the surface where certain murmurings have been ‘repressed’...
B note:
I have always had a fascination with moving images. I have experimented with films and videos, but not to any extensive degree, since paintings and other stationary images have dominated my work. Slowly and naturally, I have been working more with movie stills and subtitles as sources for my work. The piece “Rolling Fog” uses text, moving images, and sound. The video in the installation was made using my paintings and animating part of it to appear lifelike (i.e. a “moving” image in itself). From the movies, I have collected and assorted subtitles into a love poem. I treated the subtitles as images themselves, and composed the “love poem” in an attempt to mirror the process of transformation from the “Rolling Fog” video.
나는 항상 움직이는 이미지들에 매혹을 느껴왔다. 필름과 영상을 실험해 보기도 하였으나, 회화나 정지된 이미지들을 주로 작업해 왔기에, 깊게 파고 들지는 못하였다. 서서히 그리고 자연스럽게 나는 회화를 위한 근원으로 영화스틸과 자막을 사용하기 시작했다. 이번 작업 은 텍스트, 영상, 소리로 이루어진다. 영화에서 편성된 자막으로 사랑시를 만들었다. 자막을 이미지로 표현하고, 회화로 만든 영상에 의해 창조된 문맥을 모사하는 제스처로 ‘사랑시’를 구성했다.
