'Till a Peony Blooms', video en film installatie met collages van foto's van Go Eun Im
6 november 2010 t/m 7 januari 2011
This exhibition is inspired by the Korean poem 'Till a Peony Blooms' and a
dying peony, on the border between life and death. In a film and video
installation '5days in May', as in collages of the memories related to '5
days in May', there are experiments interwining digital and film images,
the past and the present, images and language, life and death, love and
loss. While shadows of extinction and colors of life stay and go, their
movement sometimes rendezvous. By overlapping variouslayers - traces of an
unaccomplished desire intensify falling the peony.
Dark colored death in digital image and vivid colored life in film image,
they go back and forth in time and leave flickering, after-images.
However, it remains difficult to determine what is going to be left. For
now, the dying peony is trappedby the bustling movement between contrasts.
