I have been interested in installations using string. The strings are aligned according to basic geometrical objects that are virtually established in the space to be installed. These string installations encompass paradoxical concepts such as ‘reality-illusion’, ‘material-immaterial’ and ‘order-disorder’. A real physical space (i.e. installation) consisting of strings is in line with an unreal fictitious space that arises from ‘illusion’ due to the intersection of the strings. Furthermore, these strings installed in a simple order eventually exhibit a complex form, giving rise to order and pattern as well as division and confusion.
In particular, my installations closely rely on the characteristics of the given space in such a way that the space itself is recognized as part of the installation and the audience experiences the variance of the installations’ optical illusion with respect to their position and perspective.
