exhibition shows a series of ways in which visitors embody the internal and
external symbols of space and time in a narrative in the space of others. AHA
Collective, comprised of Saetbyul Kim, Juaee Park, Hyeree Chung, and Jiwon Choi,
finds connections in contrasting concepts such as tradition and modernity,
analog and digital, and explores new perspectives through media-based
narratives. By placing the 'uniqueness' of stories and physical materials in
and out of the real and virtual worlds, the artists raise symbolic questions
about alternative environments and sustainable ideals.
Through
this, they share with the viewers the 'relationship between foreignness and
familiarity' and the 'experience of time and space that deviates from reality'
that begins in a small house-shaped cultural center or someone's room, giving
them the opportunity to consider their own imagination of an ideal world.
