Notes on Slow Viewing Room at Space Theater in Busan, South Korea.

I have been thinking about the Slow Viewing room experience since I returned from Busan.

There was rain

outside the theater

count the frames

black out

on the brink of nothingness

the unknown

sonic transition

dawn

in the grey

the setting, the architecture, the space, the environment.

different worlds and levels of engagement.

current or present, past or lost and distant, not so distant futures.

landscapes of recovery

the pulse of the sun flickering on the screen

circles of light

falling leaves

rings of silence

boats drifting and slipping away

exterior sounds making their way into the space

performer and spectator

absorbing travel

art creating in a world of commerce

Industry embedded within the structure

stillness and reading

methods of repair

contemplation

past visions

collaborative effort with the viewer

the performer

elements of sound

the image

the space as performer

leaving and returning

mountain path

eyes looking out

Deep thanks to Jun Sangbae for his artistic vision and ideas and Hwang Miae for her stunning performance..
