An Absent Pebble in Materialized Water | 实水中的虚石

(This project is exhibited at the 2009 Gwangju Design Biennale)
.
The Korean garden is a spontaneous density field, in which formal elements and formless elements are juxtaposed to render a synthetic spatial sensation. This spatial installation captures this condition through the formation of a synthetic space that reverses the logic of formal and formless elements: water as formless element is materialized through the repetition of its texture, while pebble as a formal element is subtracted from the materialized water field to be an absent figure. This dichotomy freezes the moment, where formal element “resting” in a formless environment. It also creates an authentic spatial essence for “resting”.

韩国园林可以被认为是一种自发的密度场域，其中形式元素和无形元素并置，渲染了一种合成的空间感知。这个装置希望捕捉这种状态，通过逆转有形和无形之间的空间逻辑：无形的水通过复制的纹理形成一个物化的空间，有形的卵石从这个水的物化空间中被抽离，形成了一个缺席的实体。这种矛盾甚至荒谬的逻辑互换凝固了一个有形物体在无形物体中“停留”的瞬间，也物质化了我们所认为的“停留”的本质。
