Flowing Violence: meet me at the water (2024) is a multimedia installation made in collaboration with Korean American poet Kyunghee Kim. It invites the audience to imagine how silenced violence may flow with water, reaching the land and the bodies we live in, transcending borders and time.
The average speed of water molecules is around hundred meters per second in an open space. We are 70 percent water and about 98 percent of all the atoms in our body are replaced every year. We are in constant flow. The flow of water, the flow of life, the flow of history, and maybe, the flow of violence.
the blood and ashes of a few hundred civilian refugees, who were massacred by American armies under the No Gun Ri Bridge during the Korean War, and ‘the tears of blood' that my grandmother shed, while dragging her two babies to Han River to commit family suicide after the war, and more
might have been dissolved into the water, flowing from there to here, from then to now, taken into our bodies, haunting us, and saying,'meet me at the water'
