Crippled Symmetry1, CH(UR)CH
HDV/Color/6m/Sound/2009
‘CH(UR)CH’ is the first work of 'Crippled Symmetry’series. 'Crippled Symmetry’ means moments when unexpected coincidences make life more attractive and interesting. We live a crippled symmetrical life while pursuing an absolute thing, but there is no perfect representation. There is only a crippled symmetry.
The process of making ‘CH(UR)CH’ was crippled symmetry, too. I accidently saw mechanical cranes inside the religious church. Although all the scenes from this video work was shoot without any plans, I found some connecting rinks that had symmetry but crippled in each scene while I edit the. These scenes reminded me Plato’s Idea that shadow as a representation of absolute idea is imperfect. However, I believe that is why life is more interesting and attractive.
