The Invisible Boundary
Seyeon Park comes from South Korea and inspired by mirror. She creates spaces to find invisible boundaries between different perspectives through the mirror and recorded by two and a half minutes digital video. She filmed the reflection of the mirror through the camera lens to enable another eye's perspective. She has particularly investigated Bill Viola's works and Bruce Nauman's and Namjun Palk's style.
I talked to Seyeon, She said' the video presents myself from two perspectives: in the left frame in the video, I am wearing a flour make-up on my face and the right frame shows the mirror's angle. I chose flour as a domestic product in western culture. Flour can be use to hide, cover and blur boundaries. I also placed flour on the mirror to reflect on the blurry vision of how people can be interpreted. '
Personally, I think the political tension between South and North Korea might have had persuasive power to shape her point of view these two country in certain way.
