Duration: 13 minutes

Discription:
[EN]
How do we encounter each other, and in what ways do we do we fail to?

If my body could tremble after death explores unfold touches which has not yet been met, or perhaps never will. Folded structures reveal surfaces of contact: direct, yet composed of countless touches near missed. They lean against one another, sustaining through contact, lingering in space as residues of memories.
The performer traces triangles that emerge from the structure, evoking places they might once have belonged to. By generating new configurations from these traces, the work forms shapes that resemble familiar, yet resists fixation, remaining fluid and reliant on mutual support.

What kinds of touches compose us?





[KR]
"우리는 서로 어떻게 만나며, 또 어떤 방식으로 서로와 만나지 못하는가?"

If my body could tremble after death
는 아직 미치지 못했거나 영원히 닿지 못할 존재를 촉각적으로 감각하며 펼쳐진다. 모서리와 옆면이 맞닿은 삼각형 철판들은 최소한의 접촉에 의지해 서로를 선 채로 지탱한다. 선형의 철 구조물 옆으로 꽂힌 반원형 철조각은 모태의 품을 떠나 하나의 독립된 존재로 살아가는 신체를 은유한다. 한때 자신이 속했던 장소로부터 벗어나 자신만의 흔적과 형성함으로써, 작품은 서로의 지지에 의존한 채 고정되지 않은 유동적인 상태로 남는다.

"어떤 종류의 접촉들이 우리를 이루고 있는가?"
