Self-Portrait of a Circle, MMCA Changdong Residency Oct-Dec 2016

Writing on this body of work by Soo-Min Shim, 2022, “Beyond Borders and Biology: Lisa Myeong-Joo’s Self-Portrait of a Circle (2016)” 


SELF-PORTRAIT OF A CIRCLE

Upon joining my two hands together for one month,
in the interest of certain gestures,
I chanced upon a circle.
Within this circle came light and darkness,
bowls of noodles and sets of clothes,
water, conversation, people and things.
Other circles joined with mine to become bigger.
The flow in and around the circle was observed.
Objects can connect and open the circle,
but can also get stuck.
Such a space must be cleaned regularly.
