Lost Landscape-Dadaepo (South Korea), 2017, PVC, helium gas, (500x1000cm)x3, Commission for the Sea Art Festival 2017
Lost Landscape-Dadaepo (South Korea) Kim's speech bubble series, shown in
site-specific public spaces, draws a new abstract landscape, this time inDadaepo.
In the speech bubble, which encompasses the past, present and future times of Dadaepo,
the floating and vanishing immaterial language that crosses space and time at
the boundary of text and image is recalled through the space of the empty bubbles.
The
empty bubbles portray in each viewer¡¯s mind not only the linguistic
involvement, but also the abstract scene as a new imagery created by the people,
the ocean, the environment and the speech bubble.The
sea which revives personal memories and stories becomes a subject and space for
the contemplative time of the individual, and the speech bubbles without text
become a dreamy space that is filled with the historical, cultural and social
landscape of Dadaepo.
