Stand and Fall Part I - V

Stand and Fall Exhibition Postcard

    A six weeks research project to create an installation art.

    The work will consist of hundreds of house shaped units. Each unit consists of two parts; front 

    and base part. The front part can turns into the base and the base can tunr into the forefront, vice     

    versa.

    According to the title of this work, Stand and Fall, the visual image on the planes of each unit 

    creates an optical illusion. The surface of both front and base parts are illustrated witht the same 

    character, house shaped, with dark colour but in different angles.

    As a consequence, seeing only the illustrated part, all the house shaped units seems to be falling 

    down towards the floor, creates a false idea of the collapsed houses. While the forefront parts 

    illustrates an idea of the moutain range. Furthermore, the interchangeble function with each other 

    between the base and forefront of each unit also suggests the title of this installation.

    In the end of this project, an interactive installation is created inside of the container. Viewer is 

    invited to touch, move, and change the piece. The more viewers interact directly with the work, 

    the more new forms of installation are created. During the exhibition period, viewers are invited to 

    revisit the piece as the work is constantly changing.

Stand and Fall, Source of Inspiration

The first two month which I lived in Korea, I had a serious allergy reaction to pine trees. I started drawing and studied the form and shape of pine cone. In Korea, I can see a line of mountains wherever I go. I also spend a lot of time observing architectures in Goyang and Seoul, the traditional Korean house is one of my favourite.
