Ebb Tide : Objects, Mixed media
Flow Tide : Single Channel Video , 10 min 58 sec
Wave : Stereo Sound, 10 min 58 sec
How do we understand the silence and create rhythms within it? Tidal Swamp is an installation composed of three media: Objects, Film, and Sound. This project interprets the different temporalities of film and objects as Flow Tide and Ebb Tide, creating a space of Waves. The object has speaker inside, and the sound of objects emanates from it, which also used in the performance film of the objects Flow Tide.
Based on image research on ocean life, I assemble objects found on the Berlin street to create Objects that correspond to the Ebb tides. The Film, corresponding to the Flow tide, is a performance record of objects exploring how to dance with a non-human performer through interpreting the screen as a window of a submarine. The sound is from the speakers connected to the objects, activating both Objects and Film at the same moment, to create Waves in the space.
It draws on research into Korea’s tidal flat, the history surrounding the sea, and images of water-women-silence, to transform the exhibition space into an active listening space that oscillate with the audience. This Waves is my attempt to translate the void, understood as silence within the structure, into our movement.
