OH Younseok Hidden memories-herb 1, 2
The main topic of <Herb>(2016) series is healing the ‘multifaceted conflict, fear and terror revealed in the hidden memories of human’. My works show the will to create motivated by hidden memories, and ‘bio codes’ that treat illness of the mind, grudge and resentment. This work contains in them the meaning of floral tribute to modern people by presenting flowers, herbs and texts. The series do not deliver fixed images and meanings through their reproduction of subjects or memories, but dismantle religious writings or texts of confessions inferred from the memories or from the subjects, and then reassemble them, combining them with images to create visualized texts not abstract texts. They become existences that await encounters with the audience at a point somewhere between ‘reading’ and ‘fascination’. |
