ABOUT

Sujin Moon’s second solo exhibition, Tactile Recall, began as she recalled the memories of her grandmother, who passed away about two decades ago, and realized that she does not have memories of her. The artist, who had more tactile than verbal memories of her grandmother, created works that evoke bodily sensations by reflecting on the “lived time” through physical changes, speech habits, and repeated actions. (Eunsoon You, 「Aging, Absence, Love」, Excerpt from Moon Su Jin' solo exhibition catalog).

In the book, you can find metaphorical expressions of the senses and textures of aging according to certain repeated actions or the passage of time. You can experience the change over time as paper, which was once smooth and strong, gradually changes into a thinner and rougher texture. In addition, the pages that look like prints of a phone book containing her grandmother's handwriting or a rough photo of her studio are intended to contain work's process or fragmentary narratives.
