Intent behind the project
Covid- has reshaped the entire world. It has affected all corners of the world and all segments of people. So many people have lost so much in this, a few may have gained something too, but mostly right now there is hopelessness. Hence at this period of time there is a crucial need to spread optimism, to encourage people to be hopeful of what is to come, and as artists we are the ones capable of helping them envision it, feel it, convey all the emotions to them, give them some comfort and to overall make them feel better.
All our team members are from different fields, and what brings us together is our love for art. But more importantly we are connected by our desire to bring innovative art that can impact society, bring a change and make people think. There is so much going on in the world and so many things to speak up for, so many injustices done, but there is only so much we can do and only so many people we can impact, but this project provides us the opportunity to inspire and comfort so many people, help them see what we are envisioning sitting at our homes. Even though we speak different languages or have different cultures and experiences, art is what enables us to transcend language barriers and get our message across regardless, and help connect to so many people and leave some impact on them hopefully for the better.
The Dongdaemun Design Plaza is a perfect canvas for any public art or rather our idea for that matter. Its surface represents fluidity and no edges, which can be seen as something which brings people closer to each other, and of course with the spaces, of which they are a part of; signifying there being no divisions between people. All the visuals and info we project on its unique structure can flow freely like a river. Our project Recalling Spaces of Hope works well in accordance with the DDP as it aims at spreading awareness amongst people about their surrounding spaces and how to connect with them at a human level–having a more intimate relationship with them.
