"I
present the installation by two channel performance video, which
I
made during my stay at CCA .
In the performance on a street in Shibuya in Tokyo, I locate my body
in the middle of the most crowded spot as 'A non-movement site-specific
figure.' It relates and sews my body with every single person who
is passing by there, and simultaneously wraps a hundred thousand of
people coming and going inside of my body and spirit. Still it completely
isolates my presence from everybody in reality. For the performance
in the nature in Kitakyushu, I serve my body as 'A movement site-specific
figure' which, on the contrary to the one in the city, explores every
corner of nature examining equivalence of my body to the state of
nature and space.
Throughout these conflicts of two opposite elements as 'Stillness
and Movement' and 'Relationship and Isolation' in the context of
space
and time, also of society and nature, I am questioning the reality
of our body in everyday life in mobile society, by acting and making
decision of 'location and dislocation' of my body. "
Kim Soo Ja stayed at the CCA Kitakyushu as a professor of the Research
program during a month in October. |
