Hee K Bae

My work starts from psychological moment of privacy transformed from online to offline, tracing changes of self-consciousness distorted, detached, and filtered in different places and media. I introduce two sectors of content and art practice by transferring emotional impromptu to personalized gestural territory with emerged material elements; from homesickness, online game character, Youtube, and Skype conversations to rubbing, erasing, binding, projecting, pouring, peeling, and painting. This is conflicting spatial combination from present to past, analogue to digital, and private to public.
