Last Mors by Rim Park at CYLINDER ONE

The exhibition "Last Mors" by Rim Park at CYLINDER ONE in Seoul, presents a captivating exploration of nature and its interaction with remnants of human existence.

Park embarked on a fieldwork expedition to discover and document unique natural beings in a remote land formed during the Miocene Strait's last stages. These beings adapted to a space intertwined with human relics, like mold on wallpaper or roots entwined with building skeletons, symbolizing resilience and the passage of time.

The creatures Park discovered inhabit a world that appears either primitively untouched or erased by humanity in a distant future. Their existence, though passive and regulated by environmental factors, is marked by an active, internal sense, communicated through clear and uncluttered languages. These beings defy categorization, existing in an ambiguous realm filled with romanticism and mystery.

Park's artistic process involves repeated attempts to recreate these forms through sculpting, drawing, and imitation, embracing the errors and alternative possibilities that arise. "Last Mors" invites viewers to consider the lives and perspectives of these edge-dwelling beings, who exist indifferent to symbolic meaning or context. They could be seen as mythical storytellers, offering glimpses into ancient times or future possibilities.

The exhibition encourages contemplation of unexperienced beginnings, things that might remain at the unexperienced end, and the unpredictable coincidences and forces that lie between. "Last Mors" is an invitation to witness and share in these unique expressions of nature and time, offering a profound reflection on the intersection of the natural and the human-made world.
