《Shadow Memory 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆》 @hyungsubshin69
⠀
This is a solo exhibition of artist Shin Hyeong-seop, who illuminates a sculptural device that has been disassembled and reassembled from old media in each room of a building of the past. This time, we saw that the act of excavating the history of media, tracing technology, studying the archeology of media, and executing a job based on it is the same as the act of duplicating the record stored for fast execution in computing. The exhibition intends to connect the meaning of archaeological excavation with the possibilities of the artist's expanding world and proposing a future rather than a technological discovery for the present.

The work, which was originally made as a small-sized limestone model, was scanned, enlarged, and reborn as a bronze casting. said to have been The exhibition space was transformed to look like a single concrete by applying cement to the entire space to reflect the artist's intentions.
