The conceptual and visual core of Bae Young-whan’s work is the motion of the human body, which here dances and gyrates along to a percussive beat, representing a contemporary take on traditional rituals.

The movement of the body here is not merely indebted to older dance forms, but also, according to the artist, fuelled by the simple fact of “spiritual excitement”, with sheer emotion driving the vigour and power of the dance.
