< CYCLE 004 INTERPERSONAL >, which was held at Gwangju Art Space House on November 29, is based on the culture and understanding of each other through process of research, workshop, experimental production. Two piece of collaborative installation work and also existing artwork from participating artists will be exhibited.
Kitae Park, Daryl Feril show a co-installation work that we are interconnected, although in different regions and on separate boundaries. By installing images of natural elements with beam projection on three-dimensional topographic maps, they want to show that, despite our individual boundaries, they are often interconnected in an invisible way.
Yeoungjun Jeon, Katarina Estrada show an interactive installation that requires the manipulation of two people to talk about the connection through the movement between two individuals. As in all relationships whether romantic or platonic, an equal give and take between souls is a must in order to form a real lasting connection despite this modern world’s daily distractions.
