This exhibition presents photographs captured from the light of reality, alongside two-dimensional contemporary artworks generated by extracting and reconfiguring colors and structures from those photographs. Although both originate from the same image, they are juxtaposed as distinct systems of expression.
Photographs are expressions that capture light directly and, through the act of shooting, maintain a physical continuity with the real world. In contrast, two-dimensional contemporary artworks derived from photographs intentionally background the concreteness of their subjects, reorganizing elements such as color, form, and structure to manifest images in a phase distinct from reality.
In statistical physics, there is the important concept of duality, which describes how different descriptive frameworks or perspectives applied to a phenomenon ultimately converge upon the same underlying structure or essence. Although the paths from different starting points may vary, the results are led toward a common point.
Between images rooted in the light and shadows of reality and those derived from them that deviate from reality, the exhibition seeks a substratum where their expressive essence becomes equivalent.
In front of the photographs and the two-dimensional contemporary artworks created from them, viewers engage with the works through
their knowledge, memory, and sensibility. In this process, the two expressions with different origins converge upon a shared sensory and intellectual essence, which the exhibition seeks to visualize.
