KyoungHa Ahn: Escape or Freedom
December 15 - 21, 2011
Opening Reception: Thursday, Dec.15, from 6-8PM
The process of building KyoungHa Ahn’s own house was an opportunity to think about ‘who I am,’ ‘how I have lived’ and ‘how will I live from now on,’ this exhibition’s work is a record of emotions that one felt while building the house.
The act of ‘life’ is a product of combination made by conflict between two opposing relationships such as me and others, ego and non-ego, objectivity and subjectivity and soul and body. And KyungHa tried to express these dichotomous concepts through’ house’ and ‘vessel.’ The house and vessel here are not normal images. Made with see through fabric, an installation of house model, which is hanged in the ceiling, shows that inner side and outer side coexist, and reality and fantasy are just the product inside her head while she wonder if she is keeping herself inside the frame with the reality clearly existing.
