Choppy Castle
6×4.5×4.5m

The color blue has always carried special meaning for Eun-Phil Cho. He finds the color to be a powerful and suggestive medium for conveying memories and experiences and has surrounded himself and the spaces he occupies with a variety of blue objects. Cho juxtaposes various daily objects against each other to explore the ways memories are formed and expressed. Tied together by their color, Cho believes this color and these objects can stand in for the complexities of memory, a summary of lives lived beyond the specificities of biography.

‘Choppy Castle’ is an abstract form that draws the past into the present, a dense network of memories given physical form. Different shapes are brought together and bound to each other with blue mesh to create a larger whole.

Memories constantly fade and are rewritten, creating the illusion of continuity and completeness. Playing with the tension between the abstract sculptural form and the physical site Cho hopes to transform our experience of both the piece and of our material reality, collapsing memory, past and present. The work creates an illusion of a castle nestled in the middle of the sea, like a photo in blue monotone.
