ASSEMBLING FOURTEEN MOMENTS — 00 / 14

ARTIST STATEMENT / INTERACTIVE PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK

The Thickness of Time

One room is photographed again and again. People enter and leave; furniture shifts; daylight changes. The room appears continuous, but its moments refuse to stay separate.

Choose which moments are allowed to coexist, or use all fourteen. Three ways to look: OVERLAY lets moments occupy one place; SLICES makes vertical sections of different times; DEPTH restores the distant view, window, floor and foreground as separate spatial planes, while glimpses of other moments appear between them.

Move your viewpoint to uncover overlapping photographic times. Different parts of the room preserve different traces. The work does not reconstruct the past as a seamless three-dimensional world. It makes the limits of each photographic instant visible.

Based on fourteen original photographs from OUR TIME — 2026 SUMMER by Youn Sungmin. The timeline represents their sequence in the artist book, not verified capture dates. Sound is synthesized live from the selected moments: shifts of light and viewpoint reshape short-lived resonances, breath-like textures, and melodic fragments. Sound begins when the visitor enters with sound enabled, and can be muted at any time.

같은 방을 반복해서 촬영한 열네 장의 사진. 관객이 시점을 이동하면 지나간 순간들이 공간의 서로 다른 위치에서 겹쳐 나타납니다. 이 작품은 실제 방의 정밀한 3D 복원이 아닌, 사진으로 구성한 시간의 공간적 탐구입니다.

HOW TO EXPLORE

How to explore this room

1. Choose a view

OVERLAY lets different times coexist, SLICES divides them, and DEPTH creates spatial layers.

2. Choose photographs

Open CHOOSE PHOTOS and tick several moments. Then press COMBINE SELECTED.

3. Explore by dragging

Drag left or right to discover other moments. In DEPTH, the window, floor, and foreground move at different distances.

4. Watch the sequence

Press WATCH to follow the chosen moments, or use the timeline to skip ahead. The view can be changed from VIEW.

SOUND: switch on sound to hear the room respond. The selected moments and your movement change the sound. Audio starts on entry unless you choose silent entry, and can be muted at any time.

Choose two or more photographs to discover how times coexist. You can always return to all fourteen.
