Body & Language

 

‘Action speaks louder than the words’.

 

This project aims to restore the lost ‘aura’ of copies in my language.

 

I granted existentiality in time and space to an object to regenerate the ‘auratic perception’ of reality.
Human behavior and thoughts are all expressed and communicated in the form of language.

Even though the language itself can be a representation of human behavior. 

I want to point out that words are merely superficial.
For example, the action that moving your body and feet in a way which follows a rhythm,

usually in time to music is stipulated as a word ‘dance’.

And the word is comprised of the image of alphabet, ‘d,a,n,c,and e’, which we agree on calling with the name of it. However, I think this word ‘dance’ cannot express the physicality of real action

such as real feelings of muscles’ movements or emotions. This is because we cannot feel the energy created by actual dancing and moving arms and legs when even reading the definition of the ‘dance’.
