Leaking Pipe(2015,2016)
Installation (Mixed Media), Participation
While I’m moving (traveling) through three countries, Belgium, Russia and South Korea, I make alcoholic drinks using spirit(genever, vodka, soju), make ceramic cups for 100 people, take them to another city, and share with 100 people after 100days after starting to brew – 33 people in each country and myself. These processes and ceremonies are the hymn for departure, and solace for being departed. Through the small hole of the cups, alcohol will be leaking out and dropping in the air and on the ground.
In Moscow, 100 days after making drink made of Genever, 33 people are invited to having brewed spirit with figs, dates and pears. It continues to Korea and Belgium, again.
