The Future Perfect. Group exhibition, Ebenböckhaus/ Munich, Germany (Funded by Landeshauptstadt München)

- If we had already arrived in the future, where every unknown question of the future had been answered, how would creativity respond to it? -

This was the project brief to contemplate, and in response, I started magnifying the soil, stone, dust and particles gathered around my studio space. It opened up the concept of the life cycle by shifting away from a human-centric perspective, instead ‘seeing’ the universe that can be found by looking into the trivial around us.

In a handful of soil lies the sedimented remains of those who lived and passed before us, leaving behind their accumulated bodies. Though the future may not be tangible yet, we can envision its eventual arrival. By returning to the very ground beneath our feet, we can anticipate a warm reunion with our predecessors. My future is laid in the soil within my hands.

The “Future Perfect” project attempts to provide a glimpse into the future in multi-interdisciplinary exhibitions and events from literature: Sujin Seo, Cheon Seonran, art: Danilo Bastione, Nikolai Vogel and music: Taehun Lee & Ardhi Engl.

The exhibition runs between 17 May - 2 June 2024 in Ebenböckhaus.

‘Good night, sweet dreams’ one says this phrase for granted at the end of the day. Yet this very mundane is an unachievable one for those who are in threat of their very life in every moment. Until all of our dreams become a little sweeter- Sending solidarity to Gaza, Ukraine and for all who are in suffering.

Collective Breathing. Drawing workshop. Somerset House, London

In two days drawing workshop at Somerset House as a part of a public facing event in February 2020, Jayoon reimagined drawing as an embodied practice, where respiration and silence deepen creative perception. She challenged the prevalent view of drawing as a process limited to seeing, cognitive processing and execution through the eye and hand alone.

Over the course of three hours, Jayoon provided loose guidance to the participants. The instructions were simple: sit in silence by the paper, no music allowed, observe their bodily presence, let the drawing unfold naturally, and engage with others through silent drawing. It aimed to cultivate an instinctive connection with oneself, others and the surrounding world, allowing these discoveries to emerge through an intuitive creative process.
