시·象 Image Poetics


○ Exhibition Introduction


Datz Museum of Art’s first exhibition this year, Image Poetics, is about the encounter of poetry and photography. The show, consisting of old Korean poems and photographs from the collection of Datz Museum of Art, both Korean and foreign, will recompose a special space transcending genre, time and space. The poems are newly represented through typography, to breathe together with the photographs, while the photographs each become verses to converse with the poems. These two different forms of art freely seek harmony within a single space, adding depth to their resonance. On this warm spring day, we invite you to this space to quietly stroll around amidst poetic imagery and poetry of written images.


○ Exhibition Preface


We turn to art when we suddenly want to feel emotions that we ourselves do not know. We search for abstraction in art in an attempt not to understand such emotions through reason. Perhaps that is why poetry stands at the end of literature, and photography has overcome the function of representation. This space, where poetry and images meet, is a conversation of senses in itself. Even if we do not make an effort to interpret its meaning, poetry is an overwhelmingly beautiful image, and photography, which contains concreteness yet cannot be easily explained, is another name for poetry.


Poetry yearns for the image and the image yearns for poetry. Though the languages of expression are different, these songs of common voices stand here facing one another. The poetic sentences intimately correspond to the characteristics of the space, inside and outside the museum, newly represented through interesting typography, and the photographs exhibited in between, each become verses of condensed significance, interconnecting the breaths of the poetry in a lively manner. The poetry and imagery, transcending time and space to merge into a single art, create a kind of fundamental chemistry, and at the same time, awaken a synesthesia long forgotten. All we have to do is leave all the cells in our body open, and welcome the beautiful abstractions in which they are incarnated.
