DO YOUNG JUN
do young jun’s “watermelon samurai” is a set of scultpures. the setting shows a samurai just after a fight, pieces of chopped-up enemies around him. the fact that the samurai as well as his victims are watermelons adds a cartoon-like flavour to the scene that after a while provokes a feeling of uneasiness.
VISUALOZIK
in their projector-based projects, visualozik works towards a visual perception that overcomes the separation of projected visuals and the space and objects involved in the setting. the rhythm-oriented approach of their abstract minimalist aesthetics are the perfect basis for collaborations with electronic musicians like quandol and ujn&nova.
