UnfoldX Festival 2025, Let Things Go - 관계들의 관계

Artistic director : Kimchi and Chips
Host : Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture
Production : Mind Design

지난해 서울융합예술페스티벌 언폴드엑스의 예술감독으로 서울문화재단, 그리고 많은 아티스트들과 함께 했던 소중한 경험에 다시 한번 깊은 감사를 드립니다. 페스티벌이 단순한 해프닝이 아닌 관계들의 관계를 잇는 역할을 할 수 있기를 바라며 모두 함께 땀 흘리며 만들었던 기억이 아직도 생생합니다.

«Reworld - Night version» was a brief experiment for the opening of our Visual Load exhibition at Frieze Hannam Night last September. It’s an adaptation of our Reworld prismatic canvas teamed with a powerful searchlight set up on the rooftop of the neighbouring Gallery Shilla building 100m down the street. Reworld then splits this beam into hundreds of shafts of light that interweave computationally to draw into the air.

Finally, on the sixth floor of the gallery, **Reworld** transforms its window into an optical apparatus that reorders our visual comprehension of the city. Thousands of diamond-cut micro-prisms, each operated by a precise electromechanical system, fragment and reorganise the sky, trees, buildings, shadows, and streets of the urban landscape into composite images. Whereas previous versions of the work used AI to orchestrate the prisms, here the artists have taken direct control.

The viewing experience is slow and demanding because the city initially appears fractured and unstable. After a minute or two, as the eyes relax and begin to adjust, the fragments coalesce into a single, mosaic–like image. The familiar becomes unfamiliar, remixed through optical intervention into a speculative future.

Although the viewer stands within the gallery, they encounter the view of the city not as remembered but as reimagined, in which memory and imagination are folded back into the act of seeing. Like the future it evokes, the work can only be experienced through time and with patience.
