I finally had a chance to update my website to include some new work I’ve been focusing on during my first year at the MFA program at CalArts in Los Angeles, CA.
A picture of Kim-II-Sung, decorates a building in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, October 5, 2011.
each individual in his place is securely confined to a cell, from which he is seen from the front by the supervisor. but the side walls prevent him from coming into contact with his companions. he is seen; but he does not see. he is the object of information, never a subject in communication. the arrangement of his room, opposite the central tower imposes on him an axial visibility. but the divisions of the ring, those separated cells,
imply a lateral invisibility. and this invisibility is a guarantee of order.
