Chae Eun Rhee - We, In the Eye of the Wind
The pattern of time
Can you read a painting, just like reading a book? Chae Eun Rhee made it possible. In her work We, In the Eye of the Wind - an artwork specifically made for Fenix - you can ‘read’ the painting from left to right, just the way you can read a book. It follows the pattern of time.
“I know that none of us can avoid time. We live in time. It’s everywhere but not easy to grasp.”
In the video Chae Eun says that time, just like people, is a migrant too. In her painting, you can see how the days pass by and actually migrate through time. The painting is made from six panels. It takes you on a journey – from sunset to sunrise, from winter to summer. Along the way, you follow migrating birds, meet a Korean migrant in Hawaii, and move from the influencer Lil Miquela to a Minecraft creeper. Each transition reveals migration as a timeless and universal phenomenon. The artwork shows us that migration is in fact timeless and present everywhere, whatever form it takes.
