Eunok HWANG has been doing improvised performances on the streets, parks and urban spaces of both Paris and Seoul for 14 years. This was to pursue an art that could be communicated on the streets. <#10 My Village Joksil>, <#8 Boby Wrapping Project>, <#7 Furniture of Paris and Seoul> and <#4 Abandoned Suitcase> analyses cultural characteristics of society and the mass psychology with a focus on narrowing the distance between art and the viewer.
In her work, the artist approaches people through the various actions of, covering, concealing and hiding her body. These actions give the impression that she is not only shutting herself away from society but also creating a private space within a public space ‘Inside a furniture’ and ‘Inside a BOJAGGI’ is a place that the artist created for hiding an inner space that only she can sense.The artist's performance is ultimately the game of searching and creating an inner space within a public place and a game of communication between artist and viewer, or the performer and the viewer.
