    Flowing Moon, Embracing Land

  • The theme of the 3rd JEJU Biennale 2022 “Flowing Moon, Embracing Land” derives from finding artistic practices for global symbiosis in the era of climate crisis when new geological concepts such as the Anthropocene and the Capitalocene are raised. Jeju, where the ecological environment of climate and biodiversity has made history and culture, is a place of thought and reason of the earth and the natural community. And “Flowing Moon, Embracing Land” implies the coexistence ethics, and tolerance of a world where everything is interconnected in nature.

    “Flowing Moon” demonstrates the existence of its objects that flows ceaselessly and link entities as a concept that captures the properties of time and change. For the Earth to coexist in the epidemic and climate crisis in an AI era with the pandemic that struck us, the Earth must be restored in the circulation and material vitality of nature. The vitality of time and events of nature and matter is the meaning of the “Flowing Moon.”

    “Embracing Land” implies the relational behavior of objects breathing in nature. The Earth is born from matter making history and civilization and is facing a transition to another planet. A physical stratum, temporal space, and a historical place, “Embracing Land” materializes the response and a horizon of matter of the countless interactions of nature that takes place on the land.

    Under these conceptual ideas, the 3rd JEJU Biennale 2022 suggests seeing the Earth’s human, objects, mythology, history, and others as equal objects, and to experience the excitement, communication, and coexistence in between as a natural community. Artwork that focuses on the moment like when walking with your feet on the ground and taking a deep breath, the moments in which the time of the moon and the earth responds evokes a reflection on the coexistence of matter/immaterial and life/non-living.
