Love
The loop video “Love” by Song Lu employs the movement of two matches to symbolize the connection between human breath and the concept of love. Inspired by the principles of Minimalism and Conceptualism, Song creates a unique and intriguing juxtaposition between these seemingly disparate elements, resulting in unexpected yet aesthetically captivating imagery. Through her work, Song invites viewers to contemplate the complexity of human emotions and the subtle connections that exist between seemingly unrelated concepts.
One thing that has stuck in the artist’s mind as he has been on the journey of life so far is the series and repetition of infinite questions about the artist’s final destination. From Yonsei University, Korea University’s Ph.D. in English education, Essex University in the U.K., Seoul National University’s Master of Law and Ph.D., and now art school, he has walked various and diverse paths. In the process, the author has always craved for more than 20 books as a writer, including communication with numerous students from the dean of the department to the professor of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, long broadcasting on EBS, lectures at MBC, SBS Vocational Broadcasting, Legal Training Institute, large corporations, Dankook University Hospital, and Capital Command. Constantly trying to find the way of a writer has always been made, and perhaps now he has found the way of a writer in the back of his life.
“Stay hungry, stay foolish” is what Steve Jobs likes to say, still craving for something, realizing that he is stupid and moving forward with a vision. Perhaps it is in line with Socrates’ words to know yourself, which means that you can move forward in the right direction only when you have a good grasp of your value and fully understand the true value of your experience, knowledge, and even technology. Since your talent that you didn’t know before can shine at some point, or your experience of being the best can be ruined at some point, you should not settle for your current position or success that was your heyday in the past. The writer himself is always hungry and perhaps, as always, he feels stupid and wants to move forward while learning and exploring new things. The reason for doing this is simple, abandoning the easy path. Because I’m still “Stay hungry, stay cool” as the author himself.
