Architectural Dialogue
Sculptures, Essay, Photography
In 1977, Kent C. Bloomer and Charles W. Moore argued in their book <Body, Memory, and Architecture> about “What is missing from our dwellings today are the potential transactions between body, imagination, and environment.” This is still valid nowadays regarding the role of the body and the senses in architectural experience.
As we move from one place to another, the bodily experience defines its own relationship with the spatial area which then evolves into fluid mobilisation. The movement shapes both the physical body and the space around us flexibly. Life is performed in places which embody this living experience in spatial terms.
Jihyun Hong promoted a dialogue with the pillars in her room and created a family of sculptures from that interplay. Furthermore, she investigated how our body and the elements of the city can form a part of our daily lives or shape its own culture in terms of body movements and interactions. Her texts, images and objects show her endeavors to understand the links between our body and surrounding elements.
