I go to the office in the year of 1974. In 1974, I invent the years of 1986, 1987 and 1988 which were before the year of 1988 and get off work in 1999. I get on the train and get off at a station called the year of 1979. After taking off from the train, I gaze over the window at an inn, the year of 2012./details

Yangachi has been creating works that break in the gap within the complex, intertwined structures such as absurd situations or systems, and the state and society that surround them. He has been maintaining a cautious attitude towards the monopoly of power and its course towards the center. The work for the current exhibition represents political events and social transformation behind Korea’s economic growth on a double-sided screen, crossing between time and space related to the economic change. While the screens (media) relentlessly spit out different issues, viewers to the work are isolated from them. Different layers that lie behind media and atypical diffusion of information that one cannot identify its authenticity are transformed to sound, realized through a feedback of the light.
