Description of the Work
OWA-7HO Gi Myo-gyeong work captures the 'romantic decay' of street traces and, taking over that expression, explores the 'uncertainty of passing’.
The author reaches a new perspective on memory in an uncertain time resembling a trace, where ‘passing things’ pile up and reveal themselves by chance. This is an experiment in constantly reorganizing oneself, escaping from the gaze of a fixed ego. ‘Dazzling Misunderstanding’ purifies memories in a strange way and turns them into mysterious colors.
‘Everyone who was me’ who was called ‘you’ ‘emerges differently’ in an unexpected color.
A dazzling misunderstanding crosses ‘yesterday’s me’ and expands into the unknown. -
About the Artist
OWA-7HO artist Ki Myo-gyeong poetically indulges in traces of time we met on the street and induces mistranslation of the hands. The desire to be freed from memory surfaces in a new wave.
The OWA-7HO artist group finds visual language in the ‘traces of time’ captured on the streets and continues the story through painting and fashion. When you are drawn to the ‘traces of the street’ that are constantly created, transformed, and lost, you come across a light fantasy. The process gradually changes, resembling the ‘accidental change’ nature of traces.
Won the ‘NEXT NIGHT OUT’ contest, held by WWD Korea and Gallery X, to discover new artists of the ‘next’ generation across all fields of art.
