2011_Straw Installation - Accumulation Type 2

Project: Installation - Accumulation Type 2
Design: Seuk Hoon Kim
Material: Straws, Fishing Line
Type: Installation

‘Usual Place being Unusual’

The places where they once use to have special meanings can turn into usual places, because they become too much familiar. Places can just turn into spots for people to pass by. I have wanted to show by placing an unusual art object in a place, people can recognize the spot in a different point of view. With the simple meaning of accumulation made with 34,000 plastic straws, people not just pass by, but also can have unique experiences and activities at the place. By opening possibilities for various interactions, each individuals staying at the place will give each their own meanings through the installation, and the place will not be seen as it was before.

    Type 2A is installed in an existing building lobby. It is more developed from Type 1 by accumulating straws in two axis, the horizontal and the vertical.
