in and out

The theme of this series is to delve into the relationship between image and reality. Due to the recent progress of digital media environment, a large amount of images are generated by means of casting the real world that exists as it is. Furthermore, their images, which are the representation of the world and in most cases they are given some meaning as a part of the system, become not only another reality by being recognized as “already existing things” but also casting mold for next images. Those two things are infinitely expanded, reflecting each other, and as a result, they have an effect on our perception of what is inside and what is out. Thus, the vague boundary between the reality and the images leads to evoke various layers of the world. In this series, I have tried to show a new phase of the world by means of photographing and manipulating the objects which remind me of another image on the basis of my personal memory. Through that, it is attempted to visualize the multi-layered of the world, which allows us to interpret it in various ways.
