Touching the Gap between Spaces
:¡¶Luminizing Sequence 2: Into the Maze of Momentum¡·

What senses the space is an experience through body. A space is not seen but felt, and the feeling process carried out by an unconscious sense rather than a conscious observation. In other words, the process of perceiving a space begins from an intuitive recognition of its overall atmosphere and impression, then proceeds to confirming details or background knowledge. Lee Sujin's approach toward a space is also based on such unconscious recognition. So far, Lee’s work has shown diverse ways of interpreting space including museum, gallery, studio and historical sites. (she notes her notion of interpretation focuses on the physical property of space or reveals its socio-cultural context), but in her method of stepping into a space, emotional impression always precedes aconceptual knowledge. <Nonfiction Landscape-Glass Landscape> (2010), comprised of glass fragments picked up from studios or shops around Cheonggye Streem, begins from an unfamiliar and strange landscape of empty streets with no vigor of the day, ahead of its socio-economic context. Similarly, in <Flexible Wall>(2011), a project that the artist covered both the outside and inside of an Bo-an inn with white polypropylene and bending lines, the inspiration came from the cast of sunshine coming through the second floor window, rather than the historicity of the space aged more than 80 years.

This exhibition explores two places, deserted Korean traditional house and obsolete contemporary apartment complex, and again the starting point was the psychological energy exhaling from the places. The artist visited the obsolete Korean traditional house at Okin-dong and was overwhelmed by the tranquil mood of the house that seemed socontradicting with its surrounding environment that was being commercialized rapidly. The empty house with no settlers was occupied by fast growing weeds, while the remnants were corroding slowly, being deserted in the flow of time. Lee attempted to narrate the story of an empty house by installing temporary objects conforming to the atmosphere of the space. Two antennas consisting of bells and mirrors reflect the invisible beings living in the wild garden of thehouse, relaying the energy of the objects. A loom deserted inside the house was embodied by the skein of threads suspended onto the main pillar, testifying tothe history and memory of the former residing family.

On the other hand, the contemporary apartment complex at Dunchon-dong, or the other axis of the exhibition, was where the artist lived during childhood. As a grown-up, she revisits the place only to experience a mysterious emotion mixed with terror and wonder from the neglected complex where weeds grew thick. In response to the imagination evoked from the forest-like scene, the artist conducted a small intervention; tying astring between the trees and spreading fruit jelly between cracks of the tiles inthe flower garden. The most important signification of this exhibition is that the site-specific intervention thatrely absolutely on the physical actuality of specific place was recomposed in atotally different environment like a gallery space. In reality, Lee’s past work was almost always based on on-the-spot installation, and projects that made her name were large-scale spatial installations penetrating the entire building. Previously mentioned <Flexible Wall> of an Bo-an inn or the <The Deep Stay>series (2012~14) winding up both inside and outside of a building with redscrims are eloquent examples. Such large-scale spatial drawings enable us toperceive the physical structure of space from a figurative perspective, experiencing the space anew following a psychological flow restructured by the artist. Moreover, while the on-the-spot spot installation is temporary, it harbors the history or aura of the place intact. However, it is difficult for such large-scale installations to avoid the risk involving the spectacle, because the overwhelming visual pleasure can cover the reinterpretations of the space as intended. In such illusionary space, the audience experiences the space not with body but with eyes. In other words, the space is not collaborating with the body, but subordinating under domination of visual sense. In addition, on-the-spot installation presumes a positive cooperation from the audience. Such presumption particularly stand out where a work requires subtle interpretation. An artwork that can only be sensed from close observation requires a calm state of mind, trained eyes and a sharp sense. A small intervention in the details of an actual space can easily be buried under the scale of entirespace and a delicate emotional trembling may be missed. The reason why Lee decided to reconstruct her spatial intervention with photographs or videos may not beirrelevant to such limits of the form of on-the-spot installation.

Restructuring of the on-the-spot work has been implemented in two ways. Above all, the gallery space becomes anarena where the installation is physically translated and recreated. The experience of obsolete Korean traditional house and apartment complex is metastasized to the gallery space and redeployed. The memory of each space is condensed intophotographs, videos or objects. As shown in <Lyrics for A Brilliant DawnAir> (2014), the forms did not change, but most works were reconstructed to conform to a new space. The octahedral tower made of mirrors which acted as antenna was deconstructed into fragments to project a new installation, and the skein of threads wrapping around the main column was reborn into a tri-stranded rope crossing the space. Here, the gallery space becomes ahybrid arena mixing different space time. The Korean traditional house and apartment complex that are physically separated from each other were intersected and mixed in the gallery space. Next to the photograph depictingthe garden of Korean traditional house, another photograph of the apartment complex portraying a man playing a tug-of-war with trees is laid. Beside avideo exploring the forest-like landscape of the apartment complex, there is aphotograph of the skein of threads suspending to the main pillar of thetraditional house. The three temporal space, the Korean traditional house, theapartment complex and the gallery, cross over each other opening a dimension of another meaning.

 On the other hand, the media space interpretsthe on-the-spot work in another dimension. Camera’s function of adjusting the focus distance and the power of editing controlling the dynamics minimize thedistance between the audience and artist. We can follow the artist's eyes toscan the place, and feel the space through her body. This may be an answer tothe dilemma of her on-the-spot installation that could hardly reflect finegrains of her work. Her spatial drawings from the past were the results of heragony over the selection of materials and colors to make light and shadow permeated and sophisticated tuning of power distribution, but her unique and inner perspective could not be exposed due to the spectacular form. Her strength in capturing the nuance of the space is well shown in <Fishing the Sunlight> (2014). Acommendation made of the hologram paper and acrylic scraps was placed at niche spaces between roof tiles, holes on the wall, skylights and window-sides. Thework becomes 'the events transformed into lights.' Such impressive poetic whispers was in full bloom owing to the camera that captured theordinary beauty. The power of the close-up delicately delivering a mood or psychology was outstanding in another video piece <Luminizing Sequence#1~3> (2014). Closed-up hands and arms urge the audience to join the artist in pulling the string tied between tree branches or lengthening the gum stuck tothe branch. The audience participates in the exploration of the space togetherwith the artist only to resonate with her emotion about the place.

Gum stretchingout as if it was about to break and the string pulling as if it was about to bepulled out. They narrowly link reality with unreality, artificial with natural, demolition with tenacity, and visible with invisible. The tri-strand ropes unfolded in the gallery space pass between the traditional house, apartment complex and gallery. In such temporal space being crossed, what Lee Sujin is pulling is a certain gap or a niche. It is an infinite wonder and beauty harbored by the extremely ordinary and trifle moment. What stops her eyes is such moment, and that gap is the reason why she touches the space.
