Entanglement

'Entanglement' brings a series of large-scale paintings into the urban space. The works appear in several shop windows along Karl-Marx-Straße and together form a fragmented yet interconnected visual environment. Each window reveals a part of the whole—a scene, a detail, a suggestion—allowing connections to gradually emerge as viewers pass by. Passersby encounter the individual paintings like fragments of a larger whole, as if a single space were unfolding across different locations.
The title ‘Entanglement’ refers to the Korean word 얽힘, which describes the state of being intertwined. It refers not only to the physical interweaving of lines or forms, but also to emotional and social entanglements—situations in which relationships, memories, or events become inseparably connected.
The paintings depict interlocking, twisted forms, transitions, and visual fragments that simultaneously create closeness and distance. Displayed in shop windows, the works remain slightly removed from the viewer: visible, yet never fully accessible. Some elements intentionally remain fragmentary or resist a clear perspective.
Along the street, a visual trail of interconnected images unfolds. The installation plays with this distance and with the desire to come closer—to enter, to belong, to become part of the structure. The result is an experience of proximity and distance, connection and separation—a spatial translation of entanglement.
