Chumpan Yamoo presented five solo works between 2013 and 2020, with a common theme of 'People living alone with nothing or nobody to lean on in this Korean society.' These five works were put together on one stage in 2021, under the title of Oh (number five in Korean). During this 5 hours and 30 minutes, each work remained individual, but together they formed a subtle splendor at the same time.
At Acker Stadt Palast, the two works „Are you really human?“ & „Worn out“ are now being presented as a double bill.
Are you really human?
Someone started to misunderstand him.
In a crowd, individuals are inevitably branded as they wish.
He decided to follow the mentality of the crowd instead of resistance and excuses.
And he reminded himself that he was such a person.
Worn out
My ability to sense in relation to moving things is wearing out before I know it. I fail to communicate with moving things, resulting in malfunction and misunderstanding.
I am creating a relationship with things that do not move.
I am beginning to resemble things that do not move.
The process of becoming similar through wear and tear.
I am on the way of accepting wear and tear.
