Artistic Statement
"I am a music based performance artist, Korean traditional music performer, composer, music director and performance artist, who uniquely intertwines Korean traditional instrument called Gayageum with performance art. Throughout my work, I focus on using the traditional instrument called gayageum as a bridge between the past and future, stagnation and change, and as a symbol that represents us in the present. The ‘Practice’ project I am currently working on is a performance piece that highlights generational conflict issues between the older and new generations, which is becoming more serious not only in South Korea but worldwide. The work 'Practice' breaks away from the conventional way of handling traditional instruments and shows moving, dancing, and playing them in a more primitive way. Unconventional acts are repeated through practice, forming new customs, and in this process, the distinction between tradition and modernity becomes blurred.In the work, the older generation is represented by the gayageum, a traditional Korean instrument, which is traditionally played by placing it on the floor.
Through the fusion of traditional gayageum music and contemporary gayageum music, I hope to enhance the dynamism of the piece with more diverse and dynamic music. This development of the work aims to strengthen the theme of 'The connection between tradition and modernity'. "
