Just a tourbus in the Rapunzelia/ ARARIO Collection
Park Sejin1999
REAL DMZ PROJECT
Seoul, South Korea
Just a Tour Bus in the Rapunzelia originates from a misapprehended landscape, just as the artist once misheard the chorus of Bill Withers’ song “Just the Two of Us” as “Just a Tour Bus.” Just a Tour Bus in the Rapunzelia is a landscape that records an existence evoked by the frozen time and taboos of Panmunjeom, mingling misunderstandings with fantasies. It is a metaphor for the landscapes of fantasy that unfold as we try harder to understand the order of the world; it begins as a misunderstanding in the face of an unacceptable definition, but eventually it takes on the role of thwarting the world.

- 작가 정보: Park Sejin (b. 1977, Gwangju) focuses in her work on landscapes. She explores the elements that expand the spaces where we live through distant landscapes that lead our line of sight far beyond the horizon. Although her larger body of work includes not only painting but also video, photography, print publications, musical compositions, and performances of her own music, all these diverse fields are ultimately a part of her effort to paint distant landscapes or rather landscapes beyond the landscape. She lives and works in Seoul and has participated in exhibitions held at Hite Collection (Seoul), APAP (Anyang), Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art (Turin), Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo (Amsterdam), East Link Gallery (Shanghai), and Alternative Space Sum (Busan), among others.
