The story of wildflower

2018
2-channel audio




“The story of wildflower” is an audio work inspired by the paintings of renowned artist Chuljoo Suk in South Korea. The paintings by Chuljoo mainly express nature and reinterprets traditional Korean aesthetic through his own technique and style with a Western painting tradition. Following his artistic philosophy, “The story of wildflower” reveals the power of nature using sound.

The movement of life starts with wind from nothing. Water leads the viewer to the interior of a dense forest. The vitality of nature returns to nothing following the law of nature, and after the nothing, the music starts again, repeating 10minutes of a new birth. All sounds of nature used in this work were either recorded or made by Max/MSP. At each moment that the viewer passes by the speaker, they will encounter a particular moment in the circulation of nature. It could be the time of birth, or the time of extinction. The work was originally composed for Chuljoo’s solo exhibition, and it has played in several of his exhibitions.
