Openspace Bae residency, Busan — 2012. A project on impermanent memory, from the Japanese philosophy mono no aware: the impermanence of things, feelings and people’s experiences.
I walk the street of Gijang, watching waves in Ilkwang and hike the Bae mountain with friends, with dog, with darkness.
Sometime I walk alone with darkness and fear. Trees and grasses greet me with leaves and meadows. As I walk the hill with gossiping stranger insects, sky treats me with breeze and shower.
Hello I’m Henry from Thailand, right now I’m in Busan, working at the Openspace Bae residency program. My work will be about impermanent memory — it came from the Japanese philosophy mono no aware, which is about the impermanence of things, feelings and experiences of people. I’ll stay in Busan til the end of August. Welcome to Openspace Bae, welcome to Busan, I’m Henry from Thailand, thank you.
A very flash moment pass by. Bright golden hair and paws. It does fill my empty heart, it does.
