Lunar Weerasethakul & Solar Yang

Under the title of The Ring of Fire, Haegue Yang and Apichatpong Weerasethakul have conceived an environment, which focuses on the sensations of light, shadow, movement, and vibration. Ring of Fire is a term describing a tectonic belt of volcanoes and sites of frequent seismic activities that surrounds most of the Pacific Ocean. Fed by real-time seismic data, the art works will be operated in two modes, namely 'day' and 'night'. While the sculptural works of Yang are activated in daytime, the installation of Weerasethakul will be active rather evening time. The alternating activations of two artists' production reveals investigation about vibration, reflection, sound, light and shadow and mediates us the notion of physical and ephemeral components for wholistic yet abstract experience of art works.

Under the project title of "Ring of Fire," the entire house is profoundly rendered by works of two artists, who worked collaboratively to conceptualize the time and place. In this house, the cycle of "Day" and "Night" is articulated by the alternating activation of works

New site-specific commission for the local house "Matabe" in Honmura district, will be inaugurated to the public starting June 21 (Friday).
