Gyeongnam Museum of Art (Director Jong-won Kim) will hold a single-channel video project 《PAUSE, REWIND, PLAY》 in the video exhibition room on the first floor from September 10 to October 10.
“PAUSE, REWIND, PLAY” to be held this time is a pop-up project of a single-channel video that resumes after three years. Individuals who are enduring distance from each other and spending time in their own spaces are transformed into private spaces in the museum. guide
Participating artist Hye-Kyung Ham has created random stories by collecting and coordinating everyday scenes, sounds, and texts that are easy to pass by through single-channel video media.
In particular, the inner monologue narrative in his video works, which opens up countless gaps in thought without using fancy devices, occupies a small space in the museum that has been vacant so far, making us reminisce about how we were before our daily life stopped.
《PAUSE, REWIND, PLAY》, a function mainly used in video media, is a metaphor for recognizing our familiar movements of pausing, rewinding, and playing.
‘Pause’ shifts movement from the world of action to the world of thought, and creates an environment for individuals to be more immersed in partial impressions that are easily overlooked. ‘Rewind’ refers to the joining of fragments of reality that are clearly present inside and outside the frame but not recognized, and leads each audience beyond the screen to a deeper inner world. It is ‘played’ again with a unique story of its own.
Park Seong-hwan, art academy, said, “This project is my story that someday would have been leaked through indiscriminate editing and compression, and at the same time it flows like a fantasy, not anyone’s story.” I hope you enjoy the images of endlessly intersecting time and memories in your attic, a temporary space open to anyone through the artwork.”
Meanwhile, more details about the single-channel video project 《PAUSE, REWIND, PLAY》, which is screened 5 times a day and can be viewed by up to 4 people at a time, can be found on the Gyeongnam Museum of Art website and SNS account later.
Single Channel Video Project
PAUSE, REWIND, PLAY. 2021. 9. 10. – 10. 10. Gyeongnam Art Museum Video Exhibition Room
Introduction
We invite you to your attic in the art gallery.
Gyeongnam Museum of Art is hosting a single channel video project “PAUSE, REWIND, PLAY” from September 10 to October 10, 2021. From 2008 to 2018, the main building has been steadily introducing artists and works that experimentally study the properties of video art through the single-channel video series.
This single-channel video, which resumes after three years, is a pop-up project that invites you, who are enduring distance from each other and spending time in their own space, to a private space in the museum. Participating artist Hye-Kyung Ham has been collecting, orchestrating, and creating random stories through single-channel video media that are easy to pass by everyday scenes, sounds, and texts. The inner monologue narrative in his video works, which opens up countless gaps in thought without the use of fancy devices, occupies a small space in the museum that has been vacant so far, making us reminisce about how we were before our daily lives stopped.
The project title 《PAUSE, REWIND, PLAY》 starts from the functions mainly used in video media. The act of pausing, rewinding, and replaying is a metaphor for recognizing our familiar movements. First, ‘pause’ shifts movement from the world of action to the world of thought, and creates an environment for individuals to be more immersed in partial impressions that are easily overlooked. ‘Rewind’ refers to the joining of fragments of reality that are clearly present inside and outside the frame but cannot be sensed, and leads each audience beyond the screen to a deeper inner world. The audience encounters a mixture of coincidences by repeating pauses and rewinds in the space of the art museum, which has been paused for three years, and “plays” them again with their own unique story. In the end, «PAUSE, REWIND, PLAY» flows like a fantasy, not someone else’s story, while at the same time my story that would have flowed out someday through indiscriminate editing and compression. Here, I hope you enjoy the images of endlessly intersecting time and memories in your attic, a temporary space open to everyone.
About the author
Ham Hye-kyung (b.1983) has paid attention to the method of creating a new story with narratives and images collected from various places. The story starts from what everyone knows and reaches to a certain deep and secret heart that he had personally held. He rediscovered himself in various situations, and based on this, weaving text and narration into video, he creates another space-time that is distinct from reality. At this time, in the heterogeneous and incomplete gap created by the scene and the narration, Ham Hye-kyung creates a unique empty atmosphere and presents an open plot to the audience.
Major solo exhibitions such as 《Island of Peace》 (2020, Nam June Paik Art Center), 《Edge of Doubt》 (2019, Gallery Lux), 《I Miss You》 (2020, Bukseoul Museum of Art, Seoul), 《Under My Skin》(2016, Hite Collection) and Real DMG Project (2015, Artsonje Center). Also, (2021, The Stream), (2020, Korean Cultural Center Hong Kong), (2019, Megabox Baekseok), etc. He has shown his works at domestic and international screenings.
Work introduction
In this single-channel video project 《PAUSE, REWIND, PLAY》, five single channel videos produced from 2016 to 2020, <Darkness Disappears, Morning Has Broken>(2016), <My First Love>(2017), < No Fun Running Away with No Bee>(2018), <Everyone Is a Mystery>(2019), <A Small Island I Call Peace>(2020) are screened consecutively do.
Discontinuous scenes often go through the disconnected darkness to create context, and in moments when nothing is playing, text and sound delicately emerge and then disappear. Audiovisual noise, such as dark screens and harsh scene sounds, adds non-simple textures to the real space, allowing the audience to feel a subtle sense of presence and operate their own heuristics in the story unfolding in the work. In addition, the narration of different narrators appearing in each work flexibly combines the footage and found footage shot in a foreign country by the artist to speak to our hearts that are constantly swayed and flowed in our daily lives. The thoughts that take place in the personal world, such as the future, love, and work, and the questions that cannot be answered clearly, run through all the entries in this project and continue like a kind of endless trailer.
