< Beyond White Cube series>
The ‘Beyond White Cube’ created outside traditional gallery or museum settings in public and outdoor spaces, offers viewers a new stage of experience. Through a relentless process of emptying myself, I liberate not only myself but also the materials that extend from my being, the visually transformed space-time, and the viewers who enter and respond to it. In a world defined by constant flux—urban density, digital saturation, and global mobility—these immersive environments open a living portal where dimensions of eternal space-time are proposed and revealed. Each work, through liberation and transformation, opens a unique, individually experienced and expanded dimension of space-time against the backdrop of contemporary conditions. Here, transformation encompasses both the visual and spatial outcomes generated by the interplay of materials, space, light, and structure, and the immersive expansion of time and space perception experienced by viewers as they enter the work. As viewers navigate the transformed environment, their perception of sight, space, and time expands, allowing them to experience liberation while re-engaging with themselves and their surroundings.
이 시리즈는 전통적인 갤러리나 미술관을 벗어나 공공과 야외 공간에서 진행되며, 관객에게 새로운 경험의 장을 연다. 작가의 존재에서 확장된 선적 재료를 통해 도시의 밀집, 디지털 포화, 글로벌 이동성이 교차하는 공간 속에서 새로운 시각적 현실을 만들고, 일상의 해방적 순간을 구축하며 영원의 차원을 제안하는 포털이 된다. 재료, 공간, 빛, 구조가 서로 상호작용하며 만들어진 환경 속에서, 관객은 자신만의 시·공간 확장을 경험하며 자신과 세계를 새롭게 마주하게 된다.
