Huh Jeong-Won’s practice begins with movement (移動) as a fundamental condition of everyday life. Within repeated acts of movement, the moments of disappearance and emergence, along with their associated sensations and affects, are accumulated in the artist’s body; this accumulated body, in turn, becomes a pictorial field. In this context, the body functions not merely as a medium of representation, but as a sensory repository and generative ground in which memory (記憶) and consciousness (意識) are stratified.

Ontological Inquiry through Abstraction and Stratification
In the course of a life defined by movement (移動), repeatedly encountering disappearance and emergence, the artist’s body—having accumulated and retained the records and emotions of those moments—has itself become a canvas. Rather than being adept at reviving and expressing such sensations through deliberate gestures, it is a body that has become capricious, filled with indistinct images, and bound to an unknowable spatio-temporality.

Artist's Note
I became a cook while preparing breakfast. When a Facebook friend makes a political remark, I become a patriot worried about the country. When I see an animal that has been killed by a car on the road, I become a veterinarian. When I see the golden fields beside the road, I become a farmer, gently stroking them in the air with my hand.
