SeascapeBusan

The U.S.-born artist Joe Neil¡¯s biggest fascination lies on the two concepts of city and space because, as Neil explains, the city is charged with complexity and diversity while space provides us with the structure of life we need to actually exist. For him, the towers in the city become the ultimate symbol of the city in which they are situated. The sculptural work installed in Dadaepo Beach — resembling two pyramids without vortexes connected to each other like a rectangular hourglass — is meant to symbolize the shorelines surrounding the city of Busan, Korea. Neil sees the tower as a micro universe because all aspects of life, such as living, working and shopping take place in the tower. Symbolizing the air and birds of Dadaepo Beach situated in proximity to urban life, Neil¡¯s multi - layered organic structure is open in form and attempts to identify our life that exists between natural space and urban space.
