Chul Soon Lim "Eternity and Moment"
Kips Gallery
This event has ended.
In the deep inside the mind, unharmonized scenes exist somewhere deep inside our minds.
The raw near-idyllic rural scenery, city streets to the ruins of war, war-torn city streets, the desolate city where the development era began and the digital era garnishing with neon lights, are mixed in the state of irreconcilable condition deep down in the heart.
What kind of scene remains still holdfast in the mind? Even though I diligently adapted and try to keep the pace with the times, all the new things are unfamiliar. For all of them seem not less rooted deep down in the heart as an attachment of target. As for the post-war generation, is a hometown really exists in their heart? The hometown, where people all lay down the heavy burden and relax, does not exist anywhere. Everything is whizzing rapidly and the heart courses superficially chasing after them. It is such stupid thing to look for a hometown from superficial scenes. In the end, the nest will be made through the mother’s dream introspecting myself.
I accept the era of all things but the intrinsic appearance of life has never been accommodated. Phenomenon of the times cannot be ignored but accepting that is foolish. No integration in disparate things needs to be dissolved in the heart of furnace. In any situation, we cannot give up the fundamental hope of life. Although it is an ambiguous state, it should not release the strap of hope as long as I produce an artwork. Different structures present both the pastoral scenery and the scenes in the development of era covered in the dusty wind at the same time.
Also, it coexists when the scenes of digital era with flashing neon signs and analogue scenes of wet streets shown through the windows in a 1970’s coffee shop are together. I do not want to leave any weights in anything. They would eventually disappear without a trace. It is clear that producing artworks is to absorb the scenery of an ever-changing era without releasing the straps of hope.
