109 Baekgu's work begins from the relationships. The artistexplores a “sense of entanglement” and relational ecologies through drawing, sound installations, and workshops, focusing on disability, nonhuman beings, and sensory flows. During the COVID-19 pandemic, 109 Baekgu collected people’s humming to create forms of connection at a distance, and through collaborations with disability communities,explored ways for people with different bodies and sensory experiences to meet. Recently,the artist has been cultivating Physarum polycephalum(yellow slime mold), documenting time spent with this nonhuman organism through observation journals and drawings, and investigating the overlapping rhythms of its life and everyday life.
