Juheon Cho: Memories

Obersee

16. Dezember 2021 – 15. Januar 2022

The exhibition is about bringing back the layers of our memories from the experienced reality and digital. The artist Juheon Cho is trying to bring her own sensations and experienced histories with the memories of Villa Heike and Berlin back to our reality. The memory of drawing coral reefs in her childhood at her father’s boring laboratory, her Berlin home next to Obersee that has a beautiful scenery that changes every day and Berlin’s memories that are buried in the Villa Heike are continuously carried back with her sculptural painting. She says it was an experience of living the life of ‘Dr. Frankenstein’ that gives skin to the ghost of a memory, the production of the work as a body without organs. Her work is rooted in traditional Korean painting styles and practices. She wishes to invite you to see the traditional ‘Korean deep colour painting (진채화)’ and the ‘Ideological Landscape (관념산수)’ within the form of sculptural painting.
