‘정적깊이’ (김영희 2022)
‘Layers of Stillness’ by Younghui Kim 2022
The artwork, ‘Layers of Stillness’ is a real-time data-driven artwork that computationally captures a transforming scene of cozy Yeondong-myeon (Sejong City) as digital images. The images taken at different moments are superimposed on the aligned hanging screens in the exhibition space. This installation invites you to appreciate what these overlapped scenes of different moments reveal about the neighborhood.
What could be the subtle changes of this peaceful place when we see through the series of stillness made of light and time?
Through the previous artwork, ‘Bridge Crossing Series (2020-2021)’, the artist collected images of different moments in the same place as photographic data to seek unexpected visual elements. Unlike this previous series, the artist computationally captures the photographic images of the Yeondong-meon and projects from two different directions – with 2 HD projector – on the layers of the aligned, see-through screens. This experimental art piece repeats the revealing and disappearing of the subtle visual elements when the image of the past overlaps with the image of the present moment. This is an artistic process of seeking ‘visual outliers’ in the images of the historical neighborhood of Yeondong-meon connected in times and stillness.
This artwork is commissioned for the Yeondong-myeon culture proejct by PLQ Partners

실시간 카메라 데이터로 생성되는 미디어설치 작품, 세종시 연동면 커뮤니티센터 2F
본 작품은 세종시 연동 면과 같이 오랜 역사를 지닌 고즈넉한 장소에서의 시간적 흐름과 그 속에서 드러나는 크고 작은 섬세한 변화를 겹겹의 스크린에 투영하여 하나의 디지털 이미지로 중첩하여 관객이 다시 마주할 수 있도록 연출된 장소 특정 미디어설치물이다. 같은 장소 다른 순간의 모습을 정적인 빛의 이미지로 서로 마주보고, 중첩되면서 이 조용하고 평화로운 장소에서 우리가 미처 생각지 못했던 변화는 무엇일까. 세종시 연동면은 한국 근대작가이신 장욱진 생가를 품은 작은 동네이다. 미디어설치와 함께 들리는 사운드는 연동면에서 직접 수집된 소리모음으로 실내공간을 걸으면서 연동면을 오롯히 느낄 수 있다.
This media installation with lively captured photographic scene of the village is curated by Minhee Kim (StarInArt) and was planned by PQL Partners & many helps from the_3rd_blank, StarinArt, RedOnion.
The exhibition title is {Siyeonhada – meaning, ‘connecting time and space’]
