Hi
Love Kiss!,
2011, 11 by 11 feet,
Lenticular, ink, tape, mylar, vinyl,
acrylic, digital photo frame (animation), stickers, glitter film
This
site
specific wall installation combines a geometric black line drawing with
animations creating the illusions of three dimensional depth of the
space.
The net like structure
symbolize the
accumulated memories and experiences the unconsciousness of human
beings that
lasts forever, shifting their forms and evolving themselves in the
space. The bright
colors (magenta, yellow, cyan) symbolize the memories contained in the
structure as positive and invigorating such as good will and wisdom.
Four
portraits of myself are combined to make abstract crosses that take the
form of
stars, in stickers as well as part of the animation, that are spread
out,
moving humorously suggest that I am free and luminous being, like a
star that
can travel anywhere, shining in the darkness. Hanging pillows and
stickers of
different sizes are used to create the illusion of depth in the wall
space. To give
the appearance of volume to the net structure, I’ve drawn it out
with lines of tape
that run directly from the walls and onto the floor with the support of
transparent vinyl. In the lenticulars, the word “love” is
written in different
languages (including Korean, English, French and German) that overlap
each
other in patterns like hidden codes.
Techniques of lenticuar
prints,
stencil, airbrushing, digital cut (for the stickers), sticker making,
photography, animation, painting, drawing, sewing and collage were
applied.
Materials used are mylar, vinyl, leticular film, glitter film, sign
film,
printed paper, digital photo frame, acrylics and ink.
