About The Work

A simple object, a book, is composed of vertical and horizontal. We live in a world composed of verticals and horizontals, just like architecture, and the ‘horizontal’ is nature and religion, while the ‘vertical’ is civilization, science, and humans. However, the diagonal line, which is outside of the horizontal and vertical world, is a world that belongs to neither of them. The book drawn in a diagonal line in the work is represented as a space, a primal realm where reason and religion, which we consider absolute, have collapsed, and the parrot in the work is a shamanic spirit medium.
