Mouvement
Immersive installation at the Korean Cultural Center in Paris, 9mn17, 6K, 2024
Part of the exhibition
Noli : jeux coréens.
From the vast emptiness of the cosmos, vital energy emerges - Ki 기 (氣). Lines and curves unfold, embodying the classical elements that make up the matter of the universe: water, air, fire, and earth. From these elements, the bodies of athletes in motion spring forth: those of ssireum wrestlers (Korean wrestling), taekwondo and its ancestor taekkyeon, and archery.
우주의 광활한 허공 속에서 생명의 에너지, 기(氣)가 솟아납니다. 선과 곡선이 펼쳐지며 우주를 구성하는 고전적 원소들 — 물, 공기, 불, 흙 — 을 형상화합니다. 이 원소들로부터 움직이는 운동선수들의 신체가 탄생합니다: 씨름 선수들, 태권도와 그 전신인 택견, 그리고 궁술의 몸짓들이 그 속에서 피어납니다.
Du vide sidéral naît l’énergie vitale - le Ki 기 (氣). Lignes et courbes se déploient et incarnent les éléments classiques composant la matière de l’univers : eau, air, feu, terre. De ces éléments jaillissent les corps d’athlètes en mouvement : ceux des lutteurs de ssireum (lutte coréenne), de taekwondo et de son ancêtre le taekkyeon, puis de tir à l’arc.
