Description
100ft. PARK is pleased to present “MYOPIA”, installation by Jae Hyun Lim between January 17 – February 17, 2015, investigating human behavior under the intervention of temporary spatial setting on street level.
“MYOPIA” is a journey into the act of narrow-mindedness shaped by seeing our mind and body brought to its stillness.
The project begins with a spatial condition of transparent glass wall that separates two spaces; a gallery and street. Pedestrians often simply pass by the gallery. They notice something occasionally but not enough to change the course of their journey so they simply continue.
The objective here is to divert this pattern of relationship using the wall as a means of interacting with the streetscape. The intervention functions as a mediator that facilitates a scene in which our body becomes a part of performance of “seeing” or “being seen”.
