Is the city still a dream? - PBF03 /
Seung Hoon Park
16 November to 20 December 2018
Seung Hoon Park seeks to illustrate the complexity of the city through large patchworks of slides.
In his series Textus, the Korean artist composes townscapes by collaging pieces of 8 mm or 16 mm film, which he cuts up and then interweaves as if making a textile patchwork. Multiple points of view and different timelines form a coherent ensemble which is nevertheless fragmented. This forces the spectator to be constantly shifting his gaze. In this way, the artist addresses themes connected to the city, such as modernity, movement, the passage of time or vertigo, loss of reference points, and the stifling atmosphere of urban life.
