The title of my work is “Orientalism and Turning It Back”. I am trying to say with my work. I expressed my cultural notion in viewing the term ‘Orientalism’ which is a view-point which is watching us -me- from western-centered thought and language. I started rethinking the word and writing down my thoughts as they have pop out from my mind, then drawing as what my thought means into images and texts on my pictorial space.
I wrote my Korean translation on the drawing.
Orientalism: Knowledge about orient. Orient is far. A thing which is far looks small from western point of views. The orient looks small, so it is small with them that means orientalism. No. it is not small from my eyes, rather the western looks small. The glass of Orientalism is not truth, it looks only small by the western eyes.
The following is the paired drawing ‘And Turning It Back’: A thing which is far far from my point of view looks small. The western which is far should look small. But why does the western look big and a thing which is far look bigger?
Behind the transparent screen on the drawing I wrote.
Why do I look me small, but I sometimes look me big. Who am I?
No. No. No. … Why I cannot see mine and I can see better the thing which is far. It was due to the glasses of education which I have learned and constructed make me small even though it is close but look larger rather the western which is far.
