This one displays a separate, independent space and revives the structure and rhythm of that space, which is closer to a void, with narrow and transparent objects. Euyoung Hong has set up a white wall at the innermost part of the exhibition hall, and created an empty space in a corner where the wall meets the floor. The space has been planned for forms that are so thin and transparent that they are estranged from the visual category instantly as if shrouded in darkness.
This space reveals the magic of three-dimensionality by which extremely thin, transparent and obscure objects are erected in a space through the network of power and form. In other words, viewers can witness forms which are not possible in reality standing before them as something that really exists while undergoing a radical change that reverses the physical properties and the status of existence in the physical relationship in which matter is exchanged. Objects such as pebbles and cords discovered around a lake makes up their surface, whose significance is not apprehensible, by spending the time of physical transformation underground, undergo the process of weathering and sedimentation. Euyoung Hong brought these objects to a three-dimensional space of white walls and floor and erected them in forms that reveal themselves in delicate light and shade.
