Archisculpture
by Gallery Lux
Location: Gallery Lux
Artist(s): Bum Sik WON
Date: 21 Aug - 2 Sep 2013

René Descartes said that good order of a building completed by one architect is beautiful, but the main aim of 'Archisculpture' project is making a big sculpture by different plans from many architects. If there is 'Punctum'in photo, a part of materials in the building I selected is the truthful 'punctum' and a mix of these is 'archisculpture' photo. Architectural components in various shapes are recreated as the massive and new building. Also the project is a collage of the big city 'phantasmagoria'. Not only the arcade showing people's fantasy and desire, the sculpture is connected political and social phantoms. Thus, 'Archisculpture' project is very symbolic. It shows architectural phantasmagoria of a consumer society and a relationship between politics, economy and culture, as well as collage and a composite in the art work describe hidden social issues and structure and disband existing universal structure or implicit common sense. But basically, it is massive and nonexistent archisculpture in imagination.
