“Counting air” Installation view at Primary Practice ©Primary PracticeCounting air, a two-person exhibition by YO Daham and CHOI Yoonsuk, will be on view at Primary Practice from October 4 to November 26.
The exhibition transforms everyday life into art and invites new discoveries about life. The works by YO Daham and CHOI Yoonsuk show a cross-section of everyday life, but the depicted life is not a big event worthy of attention, nor does it derive a specific cause and effect.
YO Daham focuses on the traces of life such as flyers posted around the city. The flyers are torn off in a chaotic manner and left to disappear, leaving only their traces behind. The artist expresses the sense of disorder and order derived from flyers in < Friction > (2023) as thinly superimposed images or patterns on a steel grid. CHOI Yoonsuk repeats over 200 photographs of fried eggs, which he ate for breakfast for two years, in a video < All Apologies > (2023). Also, he composes videos of himself at different times of the day, such as late at night or at dawn (‘Echo’ series). CHOI’s works, in which a scene from real life is repeated without any special modification, invite viewers to reflect on their own daily lives.
