Collaborated with Songhyun Moon
Exhibited May 6, 2023 at FLEETING PRESENCE, Nomu Nomu Gallery, Baltimore, MD

The work begins with two questions: if I were to perform a traditional ancestor ritual (祭祖 jì zǔ/제사) in a foreign place, would my grandmother, who passed away in Korea, be able to receive it? What gives meaning to an action? This question highlights the changes of actions detached from their original contexts, borrowing a form of cultural narrative. When an action with significant meaning in a particular context is performed outside of that context, its meaning can change. To explore this idea, we are creating an interactive installation where each body part is connected to a pressure sensor. When the audience places their body parts on the corresponding images, layers of music will play. The installation will allow the audience to perform a traditional ancestor ritual without necessarily understanding the cultural context that makes the action meaningful.
