Published programme

Things that sway do not disappear easily. Water flows, layering the time it has passed; sand leaves cracks and traces of repair where it breaks; a skin-like surface wraps and endures something while swaying in wind and time. Joy, Ryu Seon-jeong and Choi Jae-seong begin from different materials and landscapes but share one question: how do we form ourselves amid time that flows, fractures and sways? For Joy, swaying is flow, where past and future overlap to form one texture. For Ryu, it is rupture: breaking accumulated lack at boundaries and sealing the cracks again in gold. For Choi, it is survival: wrinkled, folded, transformed surfaces are protective skins and traces of lived time. Time does not simply pass for them; it remains in water's movement, sand's cracks and surface wrinkles. Emotion too moves beyond abstraction into concrete traces through material. Through flowing, rupturing and wrapping, existence never arrives as a finished form but continually transforms and sways into itself. Swaying is thus a condition of generation rather than deficiency. Movement creates texture, fractures leave traces, and transformation produces a surface that can finally wrap itself. We live with traces of shaken time in our bodies rather than in perfect forms. As those traces overlap, split and reconnect, each takes a unique form: what flows, what cracks and what remains.
