Green Room : Kyung Woo Han


Green House, furniture, paint, wire, 2009



Kyung Woo Han creates  an illusion of a room half-filled with water by painting and creating mirrored images and hanging them mid-way in the room. Watch the video to see the artist weave his way past the furniture and remove one of them to fully appreciate this marvel of an illusion.




"All the facts are relevant. People see what they want to see. One fact can be interpreted in several ways depend on our perceptions. In the opposite, two different facts can be looked the same. My work deals with perception and illusions. Everything we see or what we know is not absolute. I suggest various ways to perceive things with slightly different perspectives. The image that is captured in the video camera is very narrow and direct. The information that is given to us is limited. It is impossible to see beyond the rectangular frame. I’m using this weak point as a crucial system of my work."

Michael Joo (born 1966, Ithaca, New York) focuses in his work on the processes through which visible entities (like the human body, or flora and fauna in nature) consume invisible calories, and the crystallized byproducts generated by these processes. Joo received his B.F.A. at Washington University and M.F.A. at Yale School of Art.

He lives and works in New York and represented Korea at the Venice Art Biennial in 2001. In his works, Joo demonstrates the forms that can be assumed by one’s own mental and bodily efforts in the act of bearing witness to one’s historical and cultural identity.

In other words, Joo combines making art with the apparently scientific theme of production of matter-energy and with the expenditure of calories of the human being during physical and psychological effort to achieve a state of diversity. In this way, Joo gives concrete visible form to units of mental thought and physical reaction, breaking down the confines between the results of natural phenomena and artistic production.
