A change of fear, 2017, steel, 1100x1100x300cm, Commission for the Sea Art Festival 2017
A change of fear We are both intrigued but also extremely terrified by
things that are unknown and mysterious. If an unidentified flying object,
called UFO, makes an emergency landing on any point on earth, we would first of
all approach it with curiosity but soon become overwhelmed by fear and anxiety
for such situation we have never experienced. The BEES team from Silla University created a UFO that has made a landing
on Dadaepo Beach, in the very site of the Sea Art Festival, to present an
experience in which feelings of anxiety transform into curiosity in an open
space. The elliptical UFO measuring 11 meters in diameter is
accessible from the outside and leads to a magical experience of a mysterious
world.
