¡á Trick I once wrote an essay entitled "If I become the invisible man?". I pleasurably imagined as a child invisibility made possible all which had been tabooed. A TV series under the same title spurred then my interest and imagination with its spectacular scenes. Ever since I was old enough to see the world logically, I felt the invisible man lugubrious. I thought the invisibility might be something disastrous for the one who had to actively prove his presence in this world. My clinging to 'transparency' continued to my photographic project ¡ºTrick¡» with time. ¡Ü I once ascended the steps of a dusky-lit building in Chungmoo-ro, following a guy who carried a huge glass door on his shoulders. As it swayed, all things and its surroundings reflected in it heaved. I was captivated by the floating scenes of people who were diffusedly reflected at a variety of angles. ¡Ü I wanted to shatter slightly the sturdiness of reality. I felt then the photography, simply based on reality was extremely dull, as if reading an outdated newspaper article in an obsolete font. The first work made of virtually transparent media was ¡¸7 1/2¡¹ in which the traces of Federico Fellini's films remained. It explicitly intended to exploit a trick caused by disparities between what really existed and what was merely seen. ¡Ü Whenever brushing my teeth, I noticed the stains of toothpaste on the mirror. Those white stains looked like the Siamese Twins who joins at the back. As if they cannot see each other, I am not able to perfectly view my entire appearance. So many things happen unexpectedly in this world and we are easily fed up with them. What's important is there is a secret method that makes us see something meaningfully or meaninglessly. That is none other than a trick. ¡Ü I immediately came to know that the reality photographed was almost near to a trick. Even in the matrix that seems perfect there might be some errors in its system. What on earth I can do in this crudely imperfect world? ¡á Bang Myung-Joo ¡á Æ®¸¯ ¡®³»°¡ Åõ¸íÀΰ£ÀÌ µÈ´Ù¸é?¡¯À̶ó´Â Á¦¸ñÀ¸·Î ÀÛ¹®À» ÇÑ ÀûÀÌ ÀÖ¾ú´Ù. ¾î¸° ½ÃÀý ±×°ÍÀº ±Ý±â½ÃµÈ ÇàÀ§¸¦ ½º½º·³¾øÀÌ °¡´ÉÇÒ ¼ö ÀÖ°Ô ÇØÁÖ´Â Áñ°Å¿î ¼ö´Ü ȤÀº TV ¿Üȹ°ÀÇ º¼°Å¸® °¡µæÇÑ ÁÖÀΰøÀÇ È°¾à»óÀ» ¶°¿Ã·È´Ù.
