The Stranger
by Duru Artspace
Location: Duru Artspace
Artist(s): Wonjung CHOI
Date: 7 Jul - 27 Jul 2010

"The human are social animal." Therefore, the human always make relationship with others and spend the most of their time and energy to maintain and to develop the relationships. It is to say that all of us are granted a sense of existence in relationships with others and we find an opportunity to establish self-identity.
But the kind of environmental changes I experienced constantly and formation of superficial relationships with others have always raised isolation, frustration, and a sense of alienation, and even the very moment I felt."

"This is real me." was only a distorted image either forced by an external demand or a compromised image; there was no whole 'me'. I, in a relationship, am unified with one emotion, feeling, and thought, so I am always moved and dominated by external forces. So I am anxious again.

I am trying to find my own identity in a group, but the more I come close to the kind of group, the more I desperately feel myself on the outskirt.I am constantly struggling as much as I do not know whether I am living as myself or I am just trying to fit in to their eyes."

"Am I awake as an agent of awareness?

Canvas is the only place where the constantly shaking I can exist as myself.
Here, I want to realize the external world surrounding me again and identify my existence once again by recording descriptions of my past experiences and memories by time."


- Choi Won Jung
