Faux Wall was created as a re-contextualization of the world that Lee Kyuchul examined about the representation of perceived spherical space. Here, a temporary wall which has a shape of “house” in the museum’s attic space, yielding an site specific installation made using recycled waste from the exhibition hall. Intentionally completed with uneven surfaces, this wall contrasts with projection-mapped imagery envisioning a space that is restored in the digital realm. The projected video cross-references the local scenery surrounding the nearby Sadang, which exists beyond the wall and recalls the way that the room appeared prior to installing the temporary wall. This work metaphorizes the art institution as a “home” for artists, transforms the hidden space of an art museum into a temporary “home,” and asks questions about visible and invisible, seeing and perceiving, reality and virtuality, eternity and temporality and materiality and non-materiality within art.
