“siding with things”
Documented by Ryan Wang
Hyoju Cheon’s kinetic installations explore the entanglement of mechanical and human movements. Animated by motors, her works swing, spin, produce vibrations, and leave marks on the gallery’s walls.
By interrupting, triggering, and engaging in motions of the human bodies, Hyoju draws attention to the unnoticed, unexpected, and usually repetitive encounters between things and space.
Soft materials are attached to the machine-driven wooden devices which encourages our bodily contact with the works.
