Though human bodies or the "landscapes" of human bodies, Text in Bodyscape tells stories about things that happen around us everyday, and about the memories, desires, and imaginations each of us has deep in our minds. This exhibition communicates memories about the past, the traces of these memories, the gestures that our inner being strives to make, and that wonderful other-worldly space of thinking that is created by all of these together. This is a world of language without words that people living in modern society today keep deep inside.
Though we may not speak of these memories, the messages they contain are communicated by our human bodies, so they cannot ultimately be hidden. We are always haunted by our bodies, as they are trapping us, defining us, guiding us, or encouraging us. Something that cannot be expressed by any substitute at all is attached to our body like a parasite, and communicates through the languages of meditation with memories, traces, yearnings, and transformation and transplantation. These languages do not express strong desires revealed in the physical body but traces of our inside being, which is breathing from a deep place in our lives, living together with our physical body, which is nothing but flesh and bones.
Text in Bodyscape has four sub-themes: Trace, Memory, Gesture, and Meditation. The exhibition reflects on how desire and hurt, aspiration, anxiety, criticism, nostalgia, hope, and the like are revealed from our inside being through our physical bodies, and how works of art communicate messages about the lives of people living in modern society.
