Using stories derived from a relationship as a motif, I has worked to reveal it through chain action of mechanism. Especially, focusing on the relationship, I see a moment of effects within all cases between people in a curious view.

For 'Chain Reaction-sound series', rolling ball was installed at the exhibition. Motion of a marble and electronic sign were sent to equipments around it to move and moving equipments were transformed circulation of a motor into various movements. Finally, as an amusement connecting to the equipments were played, all process made a result with sound. After it, in 'movement series', there were an equipment with seven switches in the center surrounded by seven different devices - works replaced circulation motor by various forms of moves - showed a relationship between different devices controlled by the central one.

These works are an independent entity as well as the art work with each motion and bounded by an interacted relationship. As an extension of this view, the new exhibition talks about a variety of power applying to an object and a relationship between them through a moving kinetic work.

New work is installed horizontally as putting water into five round glass bottles. Each bottle is tied by chain and rotates in a slow pace. Also, parallel bar under the bottles is connected to another crank. By each rotation, even though the bottle moves in place or a circle, surface of water inside and the ground are parallel. Also, all the physical processes are controlled by switch-control box in front of them. Again, by control box, the bottle with water rotates in place or circulation of the bar and it reveals a relationship between the movement by visible power and invisible power, gravity. The work aims to visualize uncontrollable power and the relationship created by those outside forces.
