2. Description
Flux-Run explores the fluid domain that emerges within the process of perception. Just as it is impossible to isolate a fixed point in time, the act of perceiving an object unfolds along a continuum of duration. Within this temporal field, contraction and expansion repeatedly occur, refracting light and form before the perceived image stabilizes. What we ultimately recognize as the present is therefore already a moment after light has passed. The seemingly fixed image that appears—rendered in monochrome projection—suggests a form whose shape has already solidified beyond the living flux that precedes it.
By contrast, the region through which light travels remains unstable. Color and form do not yet settle into fixed configurations but instead exist within a continuous state of flow. The artist interprets this domain as an autonomous zone, comparable to involuntary bodily processes that operate beyond conscious control. Through the notion of “flux,” the work attempts to reveal the unknown qualities embedded within this pre-perceptual field.
Within the installation, visitors encounter a projection composed of sound and moving imagery that responds to their kinetic energy. Their movement influences the repetitive structures of the audiovisual system, yet each repetition unfolds differently. Two sonic elements structure the work: spoken voices from four individuals of different nationalities expressing human emotions, and a noise resembling the sound of gaseous flow. The breathing-like noise represents the vitality of the fluid domain, while spoken language embodies words that have already become framed within human systems of meaning.
As visitors move, their kinetic energy disrupts this linguistic order, fragmenting the phonetic structures of speech and amplifying the breathing noise. The camera captures fragments of their presence, yet the precise moment of fixation remains unknowable. Through these shifting processes, the work reveals a state of “flow” that exists prior to and independently of human perception.
