Project 4 2[sai:] 2013


This work begins with colorful Fabrics.


Thanks to my mother, who worked in the clothing industry for decades and raised her children, fabric has been an extremely familiar medium for me since childhood. Even while I was in the womb, she would prop her belly up on the workbench while cutting fabric and making clothes.


The fabric whose manifold textures you feel, and whose very temperature you sense. 

Fabric that can be infinitely varied in diverse and colorful shades and forms. 

A range of movements, reflecting my psychological state, dictates the selection of the fabric’s color and its ultimate shape.


The result of these actions, the combination of these fabric pieces, constitutes this project.


The keywords that make up Project 4 2[sai:] 2013 are as follows:


Language. Daily texts. Everyday emotions. Various events and relationships. A certain power beyond intention.


Fated encounters. Departures and separations. Conflict and reconciliation. Regret and lingering attachment (or Remorse and lingering feelings).


Various colors, including blue, red, yellow, white, and black.


이 작업은 컬러풀한 직물과 함께 시작합니다. 

몇 십년간 의류업을 하시며 자식을 부양했던 어머니 덕분에 저에게 천은 어린 시절부터 굉장히 익숙한 도구였습니다. 제가 뱃속에 있을 때도 어머니는 작업대로 배를 받치고 천을 자르고 옷을 만드셨습니다.

천차만별의 촉감에 그 온도가 느껴지는 천. 
다양하고 다채로운 색상과 형태로 얼마든지 변주가 가능한 천.
심리적 상태에 따른 다양한 동작은 직물의 색상을 선택하고 그 형태을 다르게 합니다. 

그렇게 이루어진 행위의 결과, 그 천 조각들의 조합이 이 프로젝트를 구성합니다. 


Project 4 2[sai:] 2013 를 구성하는 키워드는 다음과 같습니다 : 

 언어. 매일의 텍스트. 일상적 감정. 다양한 이벤트와 관계들. 의도 너머의 어떤 힘.

 인연 만남. 떠남 헤어짐. 갈등과 화해. 후회와 미련.

 푸른색 붉은색 노란색 흰색 검은색 포함한 여러 색상들.

Corneal Damage

2013. 07. 22.



HE had a damage on his right corneal, while training. 

His eye was extremely painful but 

he could not really be treated in hospitals. 

He trained himself severely to recover his eye after a while. 

He said it was like, 

as if knives or broken glasses pierced his eyes, 

and it was actually the most painful experience in his life.












5.


White Crows

2013. 07. 29.

 


 OVER the cloudy sky in one morning, 

there flied crows, barking several times. 

White Crow is another name of him. 

I liked the sound of the word, so-o, 

which I don't think it matches his real image. 












6.


The Flower

2013. 8. 1.



HE mainly takes a call from a friend in abroad, 

and waits for the call at specific time in a day. 

One day he was too worried for no phone,

realizing no way to be informed about her,

he wrenched severely at his heart.


Coming down,

I saw the flower,

which 

I could not see 

going up

(from a poem)


I saw 

his sitting on the earth

with worry, disappointment, a little anger,

and love














7.


A Seed

2013. 8. 3.



ONE sunny day, 

when I washed my hair,

a thought came out, 

unconsciously,

what if...


I was too honest

not to talk about it to him,

which 

made him upset.


What you said 

can be a trigger, a seed...

heard from him, 

which made me too afraid

not to collect them

and transform 

its ominousness


I began to bow again..













8.


Come & Go

2013. 8. 7. 



ONE day

he came close


with kindness and generosity

with cold sense

with a possibility 

to go


one day

I myself went

with kindness and generosity

with burning sensibility

to another


not to go that far

not to come that close

somewhere in between

to get along

so so















9.


Twisting

2013. 8. 9.



WALKING 

along the Beilsteinerstrasse,

I found out 

that the swinging of arms and legs 

was followed by

my wish to go forwards,

(which comes from waist)

not vice versa.



I had then

arms and legs twisted largely

by my wish, my will,

my waist






 






10.


Out of bad luck

2013. 8. 13.



AWKWARDLY

 

did he have annoying troubles 

with getting a flight ticket.


Too little experience to be ripped off

too much advice everywhere without clear help

too confused info from people pretending to be kind

too much time waiting to see

too impatient to wait and inquire more


Hopefully


no more too much unpleasant things to him


no more annoyance and confusion

no more good-evil mistakes

from a person

who tries to help

also with few experiences
















11.


Therapies

2013. 8. 16.



WHAT I did/do/will do 

is really

the 'music/arts therapies'?

Is it

music/arts or therapies?

Should I learn it

academically?


WHAT

am I doing

and 

do I want to do

here and now?

Remainder

WHAT is left

what is gone

who is in

who is out


Time will tell...
















15.


Redundancy

2013. 8. 21.



INTENTIONS

to inform and to tell truths

made him nervous

the response was strict and clear,

which made me think deeply,

silence is gold,

balance/distance is to be kept.


In other side,

a reaction to reverse

a tiny bit of resentment

(of his, of mine)

a consideration

how to resolve it














16.


Prayer

2013. 8. 22.



HOURS later

the plane will arrive

after getting through

several adversities

after sharing

many ideas and emotions


Have a nice trip!

Mister

2013. 09. 02.



SIGHT is not always bright,

mind is not always mild

shined...

Rehearsals

2013. 09. 12.



WINGS of an angel

shy over the head

why not take a fly 

with a waterfall on the knee
















19.


See You Sir

2013. 09. 15.



THERE was an island,

where he looked pretty

with one arm and a veil on the lip

flattering a rose over the hairs


stepping back,

there is a circle where

the face turns out

to be no expression 

no border with anyone

















20.


Lines

2013. 09. 18.



SURROUNDED 

by patient loves

of parents 

who are grabbing their hands

to conserve their child

who is leaning on their heads

arms and hands 




A brief 

to my father
















21.


Gaze

2013. 09. 25.



TWO legs 

are usually bended when sleeping

as if he runs so fast

that the scarf blows off

that the legs become tough


Smiling

with two eyes, one big nose and mouth,

with two different blowing ears,

sitting on a dream 

waiting for a hug


















22.


Farewell To Berlin

2013. 09. 30.



Wondering 

around the Metro station 

in Beilsteinerstrasse

leaving 

Foot/Hand tracks

on the street

getting

generous help

from my sweatheart


Another journey 

would begin with

excitement/anxiety

expectation/anxiousness
















23.


Landing

2013. 10. 12.



THREE

counter-clockwise wings

blew in circles


they go in a row

counting face to face

whirling in the reality















24.


Back

2013. 10. 25



IT 

hurted him harshly 

touching his back 

it is easy 

to get 

it


he

turned back heavily

behind his head

whose back saw 

that of 

mine













 



25.


A Plant

2013. 10. 31.



DEEP 

inside the heart

a small flower is kept

with two long thin legs. 


He walked in 

bending the back 

slightly forward

though impssible to see the face

glittering tiny rose apearred 

upon his thin coat 
















26.


Crossing There 

2013. 11. 04.



PUT

threads of memories down

which were burned to grey/blue


Seen

different ways,

they have the intervals obvious

sliding through the passages of time

leaving a plain tone of lines behind


Jal Ji Nae~


잡고 올라타다 - 갈리다

희미한 옛 꿈을 보다 - 반짝 푸르른 마음

엇갈린 시선 - 고개를 돌리다

흐릿한 모습 - 가라앉는 마음


잘지내?!
















27.


Dignity

2013. 11. 15.



Not to get extra comments/lessons 

even from the most beloved

who could possibly become impatient

about differences of one another

in which one should be ready to face.


Stand on our own feet


스스로 

당당하기















28.


An Analysis

2013. 11. 22.

pleasant

enchanted

thankful

loved










sorry

pardon

pitiful










missed

unsatisfied 










retracting 

intimidating

lower self-confidence












uneasiness

anxiety

unbalanced

Thus,

29.


Return

2013. 12. 20



AGAIN

went back to a former place to stay

where I swore never getting back 



decided 

not to look back that much

determined

to go forward without reflecting


being 

in the middle of 

living 

... must survive...

Then & Now

2014. 01. 10.



[Then]  From 2010.01.10. 

Cloudy Winter. ; Music. ; Heavy instruments. ; 

Movings. ; Constructions. ; 

Bohnholmerstrasse, Schoenstedtstrasse, Beilsteinerstrasse, Herzbergstrasse. ; 

Friends. ; Yellow bicycle. ; Ticket control. ; Practice. ; 

Lonliness. ; Hope. ;  disappointment. ; Dreams. ; 

Someday, maybe.


처음부터 거긴 흐리고 추운 동네였다.

미심쩍은 미래와 바라던 과거의 꿈을 

꿈처럼 지내온 나날들

희안하게 하나 둘 이루어가고 있었다 -

여전히 춥고 어두운 겨울이었다.






[Now]  From 2012.10.02.

My won. ; Cold sunny winter. ; Love and life. ; Life-companion. ; Excitement and Uncertainty. ; 

Movings. ; Packings. ; Loads of work. ; 

Teps. ; Applying for a job. ; 

Anticipating loneliness. ; Seafood and vegetarian. ;

 Childlike and innocent. ; Active, Vigorous. ; Determinations.


예기치 못한 행보와

아주 강력한 두 종류의 끈을 잡았다.

갑자기 생각이 멈춰졌다 -

생각의 틈도 없다

이곳은 춥지만 밝고 싱그러운 겨울이다.

Anxiety, Worrisome - Black

Concerts, Wannado - Red



불안 - 검정

취직, 돈벌이 - 파랑

At the end, the key would be -

whatever. 



파랑을 깔고.

하양을 - 

정해진 작은 것부터 그저 실천















33.


A Settling

2014. 01. 29.



so-called stability,

closing little by little 

to peace;

it is turning out to be true.



조금씩 가까운 평화

정착이라는 이름의    













34.


Somebody Somewhere 

2014. 02. 10.



Thankfully your merciful 

enlightening towards me, my darling.

And her silent deep gaze anywhere,

which is often awesome.



그치지않고 일깨워주니 

그야말로 반가워라/두려워라 

아 항상 지켜보시죠 어머니? 












35.


A Severe Cold

2014. 02. 24.



Apple-green, my favorite for now.

- Why do you take no such color?

I like watching it.

- Let us show it.

You can see it being together with others.


Talk often gives a cold a pill. 



애플그린이 좋아.

- 왜 안 보여요?

응, 보는 거 좋아해.

- 보여주세요.

응, 섞여있어야 보여.


가끔 감기에 대화가 약이다.
















36.


Playing scattered

2014.03.07.



Sometimes children in my heart 

out of boredom

take apart, peep around,

and get together again

to have fun



심심해진 안의 애들이 가끔

뿔뿔이 흩어져 사방을 기웃거려요

소꿉장난하러 다시 모이겠지.














37.


Floaters

2014. 03. 26.



lying on the surface

whose belly is filled 

with enthusiastic 

compelling dream 

which is unfulfilled


고요한 수면에 방울 솟는

강렬하고싶은 

놓고싶지않은
















38.


Rubdowns

2014. 04. 04.



Caressed the belly

which was full of what

we had together, and

was told that

it should be flat again 

the very next day.



찰딱찰딱 반죽하고

둥굴게 돌려 온기를 주면,

어느덧 스르륵 코를 고는

활개를 펴고 옆을 향한

Reflection 1

2014. 04. 08.


At that time in Berlin,

I knew several friends 

with whom my dream came true.



포물선 그리는

돌팔매에 오르자

시절 하늘 아래

눈망울 여럿 -

세션, 세션,…
















40.


It Is Time

2014. 04. 19.



about time to be out -

mixing different things together,

with bigger e/motions.


뒤도 앞도 ()지않는

꽉채운 움직임, 웃음 -

더 크게, 더 깊이!














41.


Tottering

2014.04.25.



fell down -

after managing to keep balance,

between is-seen and could-be-seen,

between different possibilities and

expectations



고르고서 주뼛 주뼛,

걸음걸음 문득 버거운

생각의 무게,

충돌하는 몇 갈래의 언쟁들 -

흔들흔들 

춤추는 걷기.
















42.


Expression 1

2014.04.27.



To be frank

that was 

UNFAIR

...



어떤 상태냐면

미워 

억울해















43.


Expression 2

2014.05.20.



hateful temperaments

with self-confidence and

mis-expectation

made a day

sore



못 생긴 성미에

몹쓸 자존심에

못난 기대에

치이고 긁힌

반나절이여..

Out Of The Blue

2014.06.05.



touched the shadow 

on the thinking,

too hideously broad influence

and regret

to take up the stain, 

sinking below the layer.



미친 그 시절의 발자국을

듣다.

고개저어 없애기엔

영향과 후회가 하릴없어

잠깐 시간을 담그다.
















46.


Devil

2014.06.20.



To be aware in daily life

is necessary for

keeping rational,

on the other hand causing 

being out to get him -

unconscious devil


삶의 긴장은

치매를 예방하지만

스트레스가 

저도 모르게

해코지를 유발한다 -

무의식적 악랄함.

















47.


Please

2014.06.26.



No more complication

no more disturbance

no more hesitation

no more vanity

for my dear

to keep stable


교통정리 잘 하여

더 혼란없이

저 대로를 따라

단순 명확한 여정을

만들어가기를

바랍니다.

더 아프지 않게

소중히 소중히..

Euisang-Bong

2014.08.02.




Timing could be the A to Z

when it comes to Frankness.

The story was this,

I got a question of whether I’m happy,

which made me reflect, 

causing uncertainty from inside,

then there came friction,

dug up the sentiments with a wound,

seeing an unhappy couple here.


He went to the mountain 

to forget / clean. 




“솔직함이 효력발휘하려면

타이밍이 중요한가봐.”


진행 순서는 이랬다 :

행복에 대한 질문,

회상 - 끄집어낸 불안,

알력, 

감정을 후벼팜,

남겨진 상처,

행복하지 않은 우리.


잊기/씻기위해 그는 

아침 북한산행에 올랐다.

Dejavu

2014.08.08



I’ve not been alone for a pretty long time,

without him, in a room on the second floor 

in my parents’

where many traces of my past days and 

uncompleted tasks have been stuck, again,

if I get on the spinning merrygoround

along a track of separated lines? 



새벽 하시동. 

오랜만에 혼자 지내는 사흘. 

2층 서재는 예전에 완성치못한 흔적들로 가득하다.

하나로 이어지는 끈을 따라 돌고 도는

목마위에 다시 올라타는걸까..















50.


Sharp Snap

2014.09.03.



Here is shame

which is absurd enough not to have fun

with selfness 

that admits mistakes / fault

committed by oneself




별거 아닌 일로 왜 그렇게 쏘니…

겉으론 받아쳤지만

그러게요 잘못인 줄 알지만

그러니까 부끄럽고 그러니까 부인하죠

저지르는 잘못을 자인하는 자신을 

즐길 줄 모르는 부끄러움.

Landscapes Here

2014.09.11.


Turned out toally different
only a few days later
with changes in angle, changes in meaning.

Seemed not to be gained


정리가   되는

앵글이 바뀌고 이미지/의미가 바뀌는

시간이 지났지만 쌓이지 않는/

Diversion

2014.09.27.



I left my job.

Before I fill the space—

with what was lost, or what comes next—

should I let it stay empty for a while?

Or against the loosened, restless heart,

should I tighten a rope?



SGE를 정리했다.

가감이 뭐였고 이제 뭘 보탤까

채우기전에 

당분간 비우는것이 좋을

아니면

너무 느슨해져 불안한 마음 한곁에

밧줄을 바짝 키우는것이 좋을














53.


Anxiety

2014.10.21.


desire for being prominent

considering taking part in the music scene in korea

though I am almost non-musician with no practice and work

with sound


The anxiety of sound 

is pervading.



생각만 해봤다

이 불안감의 근원은...















54.


Gi-il

2014.11.20.



the 3rd anniversary of the death of her,

another name of whom could be the Virgin Mary,

his dear mother, 

who guided me up to here,

with bless/blame,

surrounded with bright brilliant flowers

with which I would like to wrap 

around her








두렵니

그냥 걸어가

천천히 꾸준히

머리굴리지말고

같이 손잡고


얽혀 안 풀어지면

꽃을 피워봐...













55.


Jealousy

2014. 12. 18.



aware of the looks of people

pretending not to observe deeply

uneven pulse of my own


tried to be cool without

being bothered by how they saw me

- not yet, in vain, in the end




안 가지면 안 가진대로

열망하고

가지면 가진대로

경계하니


있으나 없으나

바쁜 조바심을

뛰어넘는

2014. 12. 21.


The point is,

Let's not think

with thinking 

Mal Ja

Let's not be motionless

생각 없애기 -

생각을 하지말자는 생각도

없도록

부지런히 몸 움직이기.

Unload

2014. 12. 28.



Maybe

unloading 

whatever I got so far

is 

necessary

for

the reality


Now

it seems that

it's the right moment

returning

my home



그려

이제 좀 차분하게 

훨훨~

털어버리고

내앞의 현실로 착지하여

거쳐가는 흙길과 풀밭과

이슬 땀방울과 숨소리와

듬직하고 두툼한 저 두 손과 착한눈을

편하게 다독거리기로


다시

여행 갈 채비로

분주할 

을미년 새해를

맞이하여
