Memory of Incompleteness,
Healing, and Comfort
Somebody told me that they were photos that he wanted to leave by the bed
and to go asleep.
I have never seen what Hyung
kyung Choi captured
through photos and did
not assign any
significance to them as
artworks.
They might have been like familiar voices that were unexpectedly heard from
the FM radio in an
afternoon, but you never
knew whose voices they
were.
They are documents, but not exactly formal and he captures
moments as freely as
possible based on his
own rules.
We begin to fill up our
drawer of
imagination freely since
the moment of
pressing the shutter.
Ah, love which was not
achieved,
Ah, knot whose fate was
not tied,
We, including you, come
to imagine the
past which was not as
desperate as seen
through Choi¡¯s photos.
We keep filling up the
empty space
of memory which felt so
sad and
melancholic,
Sadness turns into
delight.
Delight turns into
bliss.
Bliss turns into another
love.
We, including you, get
comfort for the
unborn fruits of memory.
...
And we get healed
continually and
constantly within the
suffused colors of
Choi¡¯s photos.
