Through poetry readings, experimental music compositions, and music that combines ambient and electronic sounds, the show listens for what is erased or unheard. In each episode, women artists from diverse cultural backgrounds recite their own poetry, and the host explores the layers beneath their voices. Breaths, cries, and silences, often removed by digital voice processing, return as new resonances, quietly settling into the ears of the listener. The title is borrowed from the Korean poet Kim Hyesoon’s book of the same name. Ep.1 with Yedam Ann Yedam Ann studied Fine Arts at the Münster Academy of Fine Arts, where she completed her master class under Aernout Mik. Prior to that, she studied TV &amp; Film as well as History at Ewha Womans University in Seoul. She has presented solo exhibitions at, among others, Post Territory Ujeongguk in Seoul and the Wewerka Pavilion. Her works have been shown in venues such as Kunst im Tunnel Düsseldorf, IMPAKT Festival Utrecht, Ars Electronica Linz and Galerie Nord Berlin. In her installation and dramaturgical works, she explores persona and social pathways through commuting and various scales of movement, encountering landscapes of placelessness intensified by technology and infrastructure. She is interested in geographical and physical conditions producing differences, discrimination, and exclusion, and how these conditions might be reimagined. Ep.2 with Julianne Chua Julianne Chua is an artist, writer and researcher who focuses on transversal affinities across diasporas, with a particular interest in makeshift aesthetics, archival glitches and expanded kinships in art, poetry and music videos. She co-leads the project Forms of Belonging: The Making and Unmaking of Transnational Identities Across Afro-Asian Diasporas in Berlin. Her work has been published in Afterglobe, Petua: Reminiscing Grandmother Tales and Superstitions, Kepulauan, Inheritance: An Anthology, The Posthumanist and Soy &amp; Zine, presented at Kunstraum Potsdamer Straße, Universität der Künste, CTM Festival and University of Oxford, and performed at NYU Abu Dhabi, Tasarım Bakkalı and Haus der Kulturen der Welt. She is the founder and co-host of Mutfak on Refuge Worldwide and Oroko Radio. Ep.3 with Brenda Alamilla Brenda Alamilla is a transdisciplinary visual artist. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig with Prof. Tina Bara and at the Neue Schule für Fotografie in Berlin. Her work spans photography, performance, and writing, engaging with decolonial and feminist approaches. She investigates violence and its relation to power structures. Her work has been published by Der Greif and Magnum Photos, among others, and was exhibited internationally at venues including Arcitun Gallery, Errant Sound, F/STOP Festival Leipzig,Haus Kunst Mitte, Spoiler Zone, Zentrale für Kunst, and ZK/U Berlin. In 2023, she co-curated Rehearsing Moves on Hazy Paths at ZK/U Berlin. Ep. 4 with Saša Tatić Saša Tatić, a Bosnia-born artist, makes transparent the roles she carries – as a daughter, sister, heiress, and member of the Balkan diaspora – to create resonance and affinities in relationships with home and belonging communities. Text in her works, as a mediator, often carries content that offers various possibilities for identification. Whether spoken through poetry or integrated into visual forms, her everyday life, experiential encounters, and accompanying emotional states thus become the subject of the narratives. Starting from personal experience but transcending the autobiographical, her practice calls for an open dialogue by pointing to the complexity of cultural differences arising from changes in the living environment. more episodes coming soon ... https://hyewonsuk.com/Ode-to-Sorikkot Thu, 18 Sep 2025 13:08:21 +0000 hyewonsuk.com https://hyewonsuk.com/Ode-to-Sorikkot 소리꽃을 위한 서정시&nbsp;— Ode to Sorikkot2025&nbsp; live performance <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/247350c47631bf8e82c06e3f0e2f57dc93aa2d2627fbe320008bc0cfbc4e227c/Ode_to_Sorikkot_snapshot2.jpg" data-mid="238386010" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/247350c47631bf8e82c06e3f0e2f57dc93aa2d2627fbe320008bc0cfbc4e227c/Ode_to_Sorikkot_snapshot2.jpg" />“소리꽃을 위한 서정시 (Ode to Sorikkot)” is a poetic ritual, chant, and collective listening performance that imagines a time when plants and humans were attuned to one another. Extending from the previous project S.Abligua X Odekon, created in collaboration with Anna Fainareti Lioka as a collective Odd Sonorous, the work weaves together the recitation of poems written in the form of myths and folktales, voice, electronic sound, field recordings, and real-time environmental data collected from the performance site to construct a sonic fiction. Here, language not only delivers the meaning but also serves as poetic and sonic material. The phenomenon of “echo” is proposed as both a key concept for rethinking the relationship between plants and humans and a metaphor for symbiotic relations. Through this lens, the performance summons the cyclical memory of life—its continual birth and death—and expands the relationship between plants and humans toward ecological and planetary dimensions. The project was performed as part of Plant Stories at ZK/U Berlin. https://hyewonsuk.com/Ouroboros Thu, 29 May 2025 18:23:07 +0000 hyewonsuk.com https://hyewonsuk.com/Ouroboros Ouroboros 2025neural cellular automata system, five moving loudspeakers, microphone <img width="1800" height="1200" width_o="1800" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2958e4868f424c357a6069231ece160a255588305ee6e7249eab634f167340bb/Snapshot1_2.jpg" data-mid="233899719" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2958e4868f424c357a6069231ece160a255588305ee6e7249eab634f167340bb/Snapshot1_2.jpg" /> <img width="1800" height="1200" width_o="1800" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d50955eb7778632a6aa587d074a611c9d0df186a284aea0d3f95455236ffeb25/Snapshot3_2.jpg" data-mid="233899721" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d50955eb7778632a6aa587d074a611c9d0df186a284aea0d3f95455236ffeb25/Snapshot3_2.jpg" />"Ouroboros" is a self-organizing system that continuously reshapes and sustains itself through the interaction between its internal dynamics and external disturbances. Built on an artist-developed 1D neural cellular automata, the system generates complex temporal structures emerging solely from local interactions between neighboring cells. As the model continuously updates itself, it tends to maintain a target sequence. Here, sound becomes the system’s living matter—projected through moving speakers and re-entering the system via a microphone. Human participation with the microphone introduces dynamic interference, challenging the system to regenerate, re-organize, and weave itself anew. In this endless cycle of self-creation and self-dissolution, "Ouroboros" reveals a sonic organism that listens to itself in order to remain alive.

Implementing the concept of perturbation, a biological mechanism of disruption and adaptation, it generates temporal structures in sound and image that reflect the principles of resistance, adaptation, transformation, and resilience. Utilizing Growing Neural Cellular Automata (GNCA), the project explores a new approach to the co-creative process between humans and machines enabling real-time observation and participation.

The story starts with a discovery of a plant that used to make a sound and is considered extinct. Based on the AI-generated visual and verbal botanic archives, artists went on a journey to find the lost sound. Whether humans lose their ability to hear plant sounds or plant stops making a sound in the human audible range, it appears that all the ecological and social causes of disconnection between human and plant within the speculative storytelling.

Responding to the question “What are the point, line, and plane of sound?”, the composition focuses on the essential sonic elements such as impulse, noise, frequency, frequency beating, etc. The installation resembling a two-dimensional painting allows the audience to listen to musical events as though they are viewing a painting. Activities such as listening (looking) closely or hearing (gazing) at a distance reveal a three-dimensional world as well as play an important role in musical progression. “Komposition II” is a graphic score printed with a risograph. The riso printing method reveals one color at a time when it prints, so each layer of point and line is distinctive, merging together as a big circular shape at the end. Since the score has no clue of how people are listening and how the music is slightly different depending on their movement(action), the attempt to bring the bodily experience of “Komposition I” back to two-dimension will fail. However, the trial of following the musical progression through the score and using one's ears to encounter ephemerality is constantly carried out by the audience, like we, people, endlessly try to speculate the world with numerous failures. <img width="1920" height="2880" width_o="1920" height_o="2880" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/20edab1425fda06f487c2c1f61d3b75ede787e9fb5ea4ce67a581bb45a104088/Pic5.jpg" data-mid="128382822" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/20edab1425fda06f487c2c1f61d3b75ede787e9fb5ea4ce67a581bb45a104088/Pic5.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1280" width_o="1920" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d83c4fd66be6af428c76a7aa2ca751b134939279d0a3dee474e526ba4c0765bf/Pic2.jpg" data-mid="128382826" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d83c4fd66be6af428c76a7aa2ca751b134939279d0a3dee474e526ba4c0765bf/Pic2.jpg" /> <img width="6741" height="4494" width_o="6741" height_o="4494" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ab8fb93de0ca74a758ec1925ec94dc52df614e9af63dc630be7bd677ebb13747/Pic3.jpg" data-mid="128382819" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ab8fb93de0ca74a758ec1925ec94dc52df614e9af63dc630be7bd677ebb13747/Pic3.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1280" width_o="1920" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d468f23e6cbb240bd3cd2002a4ba56c39f966fd624208ec4568b3580533cbfd1/Pic1.jpg" data-mid="128382818" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d468f23e6cbb240bd3cd2002a4ba56c39f966fd624208ec4568b3580533cbfd1/Pic1.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1280" width_o="1920" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5aed0a7dee02e3999a3c892240ae56b2f56b3776ab8b5950f3f9d08f68bc5ff0/Pic9.jpg" data-mid="128382820" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5aed0a7dee02e3999a3c892240ae56b2f56b3776ab8b5950f3f9d08f68bc5ff0/Pic9.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1280" width_o="1920" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/154afbf12abb3846c1d650718b38605ea48974178847999f6b1b4e8961992979/Pic8.jpg" data-mid="128382825" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/154afbf12abb3846c1d650718b38605ea48974178847999f6b1b4e8961992979/Pic8.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1280" width_o="1920" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e9cb7ca18b742a097e1cf0fe63c3bdd13510bfd9e5baea6a2ca33099059caa1b/Pic6.jpg" data-mid="128382823" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e9cb7ca18b742a097e1cf0fe63c3bdd13510bfd9e5baea6a2ca33099059caa1b/Pic6.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1280" width_o="1920" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/06db0e5bcae1b8edc54b58ac9d7a99e04251a49b8c2fe2634fb25f949edf4d41/Pic7.jpg" data-mid="128382824" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/06db0e5bcae1b8edc54b58ac9d7a99e04251a49b8c2fe2634fb25f949edf4d41/Pic7.jpg" /> Solo exhibition “Collision - the line has here replaced the plane”@ Project Space Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, Korea Komposition II 2021 graphic score risograph on paper 297 x 420 mm <img width="6000" height="6000" width_o="6000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8c3ab4b7625d089aa8431cbc08cdbed2ef4025a9ec6d83e543f8b0f0b463a46/2----.jpg" data-mid="132844087" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e8c3ab4b7625d089aa8431cbc08cdbed2ef4025a9ec6d83e543f8b0f0b463a46/2----.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="6000" width_o="6000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f3474da47a81fe5646ae73be499550badedf945cf9d86bc2b11471308f6e986d/1-.jpg" data-mid="132842297" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f3474da47a81fe5646ae73be499550badedf945cf9d86bc2b11471308f6e986d/1-.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="6000" width_o="6000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/baae18e9168e16c60cc063dfc421f39ef5ab28b7b286252617bd9ee7d8869b5e/3-.jpg" data-mid="132842320" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/baae18e9168e16c60cc063dfc421f39ef5ab28b7b286252617bd9ee7d8869b5e/3-.jpg" /> Solo exhibition “Collision - the line has here replaced the plane” @ Project Space Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, Korea Supported by Seoul Metropolitan GovernmentSeoul Foundation of Arts and Culture https://hyewonsuk.com/Intertwined-Dialect Tue, 28 Dec 2021 14:01:40 +0000 hyewonsuk.com https://hyewonsuk.com/Intertwined-Dialect Intertwined Dialect 2021 site-specific sound installation “Intertwined Dialect”is a sound installation created by Hyewon Suk and Anna Fainareti Lioka as a collective Odd Sonorous.

In his book, Bacherlard proposed diverse material images of water arising from the matter itself rather than from the form as a way of formal imagination. As one of the four classical elements, water has an image of intimacy, flux, birth, and death, etc. “Waterside” responds to Gaston’s poetic approach by using real water as a main material of visual accompaniment. Experimenting with the relationship between audio and visual, “Waterside” uses the physicality of the sound. The visual composition is created by the physical effect of the sound and the water enables us to see this connected relationship. Especially, for the version of Berlin, “Waterside” uses the main image and sound collected from Berlin. The audience will see the city reshaped or reconstructed by the music, specifically through the lens of water. “Waterside” was lively streamed as part of CTM and transmediale’s Vorspiel 2021 at the SoundsAbout gallery.&nbsp; https://hyewonsuk.com/Sik-gu Tue, 28 Dec 2021 14:01:41 +0000 hyewonsuk.com https://hyewonsuk.com/Sik-gu Sik-gu 2020&nbsp; single channel audio installation “Sik-gu” is a single channel audio installation, created during the two week residency of the 24/X young artists collective. In korean, “sik-gu” means the people who share a meal together like a family. As the title already indicates, sharing a table and eating together is an intimate moment. Reflecting on the theme of intimacy in the residency, Sik-gu recreates the tea times where Hyewon had an intimate conversation with three of the other artists.&nbsp;Instead of a person, an audio speaker is sitting in the chair opposite to where the audience will sit. The audio consists of the three people talking about their story but because it is chopped and distorted, the audience can only partially understand it. The audience can hear the voice and part of the conversation but they will inevitably fail to fully understand since the story is composed without the context. Whether the audience relates to the story or not, three people are telling their own story and enjoying tea times. It resembles our communication. Do we really communicate with the person in front of us? Can we convince them that we fully understand what the other person is talking about? Even when one is assured it was an intimate moment, how can one truly know whether it was a two-way communication or just a monologue? <img width="5472" height="3648" width_o="5472" height_o="3648" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1feb1938602f2ebcb07b7a314c9b55146731d63938c05d7d4ec42ebad2a59306/IMG_0938_2.JPG" data-mid="128382842" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1feb1938602f2ebcb07b7a314c9b55146731d63938c05d7d4ec42ebad2a59306/IMG_0938_2.JPG" /> <img width="5472" height="3648" width_o="5472" height_o="3648" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/60216ef191bac1c24c555cb5e6de3ca7f126de89a596551a4ea2ae6a6492e02f/IMG_0943.JPG" data-mid="128382841" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/60216ef191bac1c24c555cb5e6de3ca7f126de89a596551a4ea2ae6a6492e02f/IMG_0943.JPG" /> &nbsp; “DIE ANGST EINES ZERLACHTEN SEELENLEVENS” @ Krudebude, Leipzig, Germany <img width="5472" height="3648" width_o="5472" height_o="3648" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/abe598c70a0a78e9e6f37b862d69fa45855d351bf8a0234c8433a37e07b50ec1/IMG_0959.JPG" data-mid="128382843" border="0" data-scale="94" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/abe598c70a0a78e9e6f37b862d69fa45855d351bf8a0234c8433a37e07b50ec1/IMG_0959.JPG" />
