LIVE PERFORMANCE

Jieun Park
June 22, 2023

Writing, Hiding, Disappearing, and Staying

During the performance, the artist uses red oil chalk to immortalize her past on one of our gallery windows. She inscribes significant moments and memories from her personal life and overlay the text with additional writing until it becomes unreadable and incomprehensible to anyone except herself, almost like a form of purification.

The essence of the performance will lie in the act of writing. Understanding the content being written during this process will not be the focus; instead, it will serve as a method for the artist to process emotions, especially those linked to the past, and a reminder of writing's significance as a fundamental component of social interactions.
