picture tube's world

When the moment I making this video was a very difficult time and everything seemed crashing on me. I was struggling between to listen to my own voice or voices from traditional thought, Christianity teaching and people expectation which were noisy and imposed me great pressure. Therefore I wanted to stay alone in a cave to do anything I wanted. The cave could protect me and prevented from hurting by the external pressure and kept a distance from the outside environment. But still, I was curious about the outside world but scared about the uncertainty.

On the way of struggling, the philosophy by Deleuze (time image) - to unfold narrative, to breakdown the logical relationship with cause and effect and to open up and free object totally from their functions and contextual relations, triggered my inner voice being getting louder. As a result, I could feel that I was changing and transforming everyday. But the uncertainty still threatened me and I still needed the cave to protect me.

To represent myself through this installation, the picture tube that showing the video visualized those images in my heart and my mind. The outside world and my inner world came in and out which affect my psychological world according to time. To critise the tradition thought, the cause and effect was not necessarily to be logical and in sequence. Therefore, I splitted the video into segments and incomplete movement and rearranged and repeated them to unfold the narrative. It was being open to perceive individually.

The tube is too precious and delicate that protection is needed from being damaged and let the electronic signal to transform to visaul signal succesfully and safely. The inside is the most important part of the insallation that only transparent enclosure can represent its significant. It looks like a free standing picture tube.
