Kwanwoo Park
- About
-
The practice of Kwanwoo Park(b.1990) focuses on human as phenomena. He pays attention to the transitional state of being contemporary and its experiential self-awareness of the human phenomena and of the world in the midst of it. His specific themes include the issues of consciousness and self-awareness through the senses, reality, and non-reality mediated by 'belief', and issues of identification and relationship.
Through his art, Park experiments with liminal space-time that defies conventional categorization by creating devices to capture phenomena, structuring scenes that evoke a sense of jamais vu, creating collective situation plays where the boundaries of the audience disappear, and designing special experiences that can only exist through testimonies. It is an important characteristic of his work that it inherits the modes of performance, happenings, and events, but triggers the exclusive experience of the viewer's 'individual' in a way that cannot be shared with others.
