Flash back, Memory
빛과 시간의 단상(斷想), 회상
“Memories are remembered differently by each of us.”
This work begins with a simple yet profound truth: the same moment can be remembered in entirely different ways. On either side of a window, two figures appear to almost meet—yet never quite touch. Through the continuous rotation of translucent fabrics, their shadows overlap, drift apart, and reunite again, revealing that they have always been connected, even in distance.
The viewer first encounters the scene from a seated position, gazing out the window in a moment of quiet introspection. This one-person media experience evokes a personal memory. Only upon stepping back does the full relationship unfold: the projected image within the window symbolizes one’s own memory, while the shifting shadows represent the memory of the other.
The installation is composed as a multi-layered structure, merging video imagery with physical objects. Through this layering—both visual and emotional—the space within the window transforms into a shared yet fragmented memoryscape, inviting the viewer to contemplate the subtle dissonance and resonance between personal and collective recollection.
