Statement
Magpie Eye (까치 눈) utilizes the possibility of ritualistic attributes of image making and motion picture and their alchemical roots to create a series of work that evokes the non-material realities that occupy our lives. The main 3-channel installation functions as the eyes of the magpie. The handmade pinhole camera eye serves as an analogue to the eye of the other. The images presented are not lens based but rather take in the light unfiltered, without the presence of distortion, and as such offers a different access point of visual information. Much like the Magpie's color which is not black or white, rather underneath the sheen of light appears the iridescent blue. The work as such embraces that which is not seen or rather what is not taken to be reality and explores the non-material spirit of the world around us.
