My Name is Bon 3

Concept

I wanted to know the commonality appearing differently in the spirit of the time and the backside of culture in the works continuing from the past to the modern times for a long time.
As time passed by, I came to focus more on the human desires settled on the base, rather than the similarity of the techniques, like expression method for the commonality, and in this sense, I started a series of montage with a concern about the method of showing that the human’s essential desires from the past to the present do not differ beyond time and space, but they appear in different cultures. This I think is a work of showing one section of parallel theory through overlap.

In the modern times, in which something new is infinitely produced, and things change quickly while people have no time to adapt and get used to, in the chaos of excessive information, keen competition, the helplessness not able to take advantage of new culture, and the barren social atmosphere, in which ‘untact’ becomes daily routine, we find our lives difficult and come to be unsatisfied with reality. Be@rbrick expressed in my works is a typical object that allows the social phenomenon of kidultism appearing in this hostile world to be settled as a culture of new amusement and healing among the modern people. These materials of kidult culture are a culture of amusement that allows modern people living with obsession that they may fall behind in competition in reality to forget the reality and rest for a while and a pathway to the dream of an enthusiastic deviation to the public who are tired of the older generation’ stereotyped values and suffocating cultural monophagia.
In a sense, ‘montage’ is another self-portrait of ours.

I would like a series of montage to be happy portraits that make us dream.
