Zero

2010

“Zero” is not only the ending of things, but also the new start of a condition, which offers a method of description to contradiction and dilemma.

“Zero” provides the possibility of the coexistence of two ways of act, illusion and death, in the two different directions—start and end. In the last time of the person who is committing suicide, what he is losing and what he is hoping (the illusionary exit and the channel of death ) coexist in his way to death.

This “sucide” can be interpreted as the guest to death, for he trys to use the irreversible way of life to break into the silent zone which has never been opened before. The process that is prolonged “intendedly” reveals the absurdity and weirdness hidden beneath many normal orders. Each room shows the coexistence which cannot be merged in the whole world and the community of a kind of dilemma.
