Dialogue with insect
Dialogue with another existence
Can we remember again the language we communicated 700 million years ago?
7억년 전 우리는 같은 뿌리에서 진화해왔다.
7억년전 우리가 소통하던 언어를 다시 기억할 수 있지않을까 ?
700 million years ago, humans and other beings evolved from one root.
We used to communicate in the past, but we were divided into our own languages and behaviors.
I started this project because I wondered if I could remember the language that humans and other beings communicated in the past.
I might have talked to a little ant that was passing by my foot in the past.
And I may have walked on the surface of the little ant's mind with a whispery, delicate and gaze.
Based on this imagination, I started talking to insects. Before starting this project,
This project wanted to talk about the boundaries between oneself and others’ existence through the process of trying and understanding conversations with other beings.
I hope this project will be a time to expand ownself through the process of talking to insects and making friends.
억년전 인간과 곤충,식물, 동물 등 모든 존재는 하나의 뿌리에서 진화해왔습니다.
과거에 소통을 하던 우리는 각자의 언어와 행동으로 세분화되었지만
과거에 인간과 타존재가 소통하던 언어를 다시 기억할 수 있지않을까 하는 궁금증에 이 프로젝트를 시작했습니다.
지금 발밑으로 지나가는 작은 개미와 7억년전에는 이야기를 나누던 이웃이었을지도
모른다는 가설을 하나을 만들어 실험을 시작했습니다.
곤충과 대화를 한다면 어떠한 방식으로 이야기를 나눌 수 있는 지
여러가지 시도를 진행했습니다.
What is a dialogue?
The act of excreting and absorbing each other’s thoughts,
looking at each other through the process.
Walking together on the path of each other's thoughts.
"conversation" in a way called "absorption and excretion
of thoughts”, and then, I did this project especially
based on the psychological term “mirror effect”.
Mirroring effect:
"Mirroring" is a psychological term
that refers to "unconscious imitation behavior”,
and refers to copying other people's actions
as if they were reflected in the
same way. The "mirroring effect" derived from this is an
act of unconsciously imitating the speech, expression,
and behavior of the person you like, and is also called
the "coordination effect."
This project wanted to talk about the boundaries between
oneself and others’ existence through the process of
trying and understanding conversations with other beings.
I hope this project will be a time to expand ownself
through the process of talking to insects and making friends
Dialogue with insect project 1. : Conversation as a gaze
While I walked slowly to wake up, I met
each of them suddenly.
They stared at me quietly,
I stared at them calmly, too.
As if we had known each other long ago,
we looked at each other for a long time.
As if I met someone I missed
After that i started to draw the
insect’s portrait
The above story is a project that I started experimenting with in the Benetton Research Residency.
I conducted research and conducted projects focusing on the insects found at and near the Benetton Research Center.
