About the performance
In the perspective of dance, ‘Real existence is the liberation.’ Real existence means physical substance. Being aware of itself as a physical body. 자각하는 육체와 자각하는 주체는 같다. Dance accept this physically substantial object as an image. When the image becomes the main subject and productively moves, it also becomes the strongest tool of liberation at the field of image aesthetics. Among these overflowing and abundant images, dance is a tool of liberation but also a liberation itself at the same time.
When dance is thrown, slow and crawling just like a larva or worm, it means to have an experience of being liberated from something else. This special experience is an experience that loves experience, being aware of experience. A larva normally do not have an awareness, but this image is a special one with awareness. To be aware of something is to access through physical body and know how to ask themselves.
(<자조방방自照房房>) keeps this access and questions, and it proceeds in the substantial space of liberty. In Korea, we see this space as a room. And the room becomes a playground. There are plenty of examples of rooms in Korea, enough to make you dizzy. Game room, Video room, Massage room, Comic room, Singing Room (Karaoke) and etc. This room culture locates itself at the middle step between the public area and private one. Korean society prefer this particular experience of possessing, strongly and temporary, the transformation to place when people can hide very personally and privately then make it as a space of liberation, not as the one of the society members. What really is this room, between the public and private.
