Among the proverbs and proverbs that come from various languages and cultures, we collect sentences about women. Although the collected sentences were translated into Korean and came here from the original culture.

The eyes of women passing through the ages have certain similarities - the ones that force a concept given to a woman and demand a formalized role as a gander. Eungyeong Ahkrill, which is projected by distorting surrounding images, is also an important material.

MTBF - mean time between failures


Here, then, is where people come to live; I'd have thought it more a place to die in The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge (Die Auf zeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge)

by Rainer Maria Rilke


A big square building casts a big square shadow. This square building sometimes has a big square shadow. Who says there was time and there is no time lived in the apartment; it was fair that there was a shadow on the tip of his feet too.

A part-time labourer who steps on a steel bar wearing a safety helmet that carries his family in carefully.
He is building a house where his family won’t live.

I have been to a subterranean city before. People built the city in order to hide from persecution and it has become a sacred place. The place where abandoned people lived became the place where people want to visit.

In an open area, there were some abandoned appliances laying on the ground, touching cheeks with each other. People were planting pumpkins and chilly peppers in one open area, a part-time labourer was doing masonry work in another empty space. In one area, a cloud of dust stirred up high in the whirlwind.

Today an air conditioner installation worker falls on the ground. His company will not accept that it is an industrial accident. Today a swallow crashes into a window and falls. It didn’t accept that the window was a wall. Though we are fine today, because we can see what the swallow cannot see.

Whoever uses his or her body gets calluses and a labourer who doesn’t work gets a sense of guilt. When your feet get accustomed to shoes, they become your feet. A child who draws a heart on wet cement and a child who draws a penis; both of them grow into the same person. Because they have passed winding roads, they still live in winding electric wires; because they have lived square lives, they still live in square apartment buildings. A round window doesn’t have a corner.

In the city where houses have been built on the edge of cliff, the roof of the flat below was the yard of my own house. Although when kicking a ball, it rolls down, no one can climb the steep hill but a donkey, children kick a ball and men ride donkeys.

Magpies built their nest with steel bars on street lamps in a new town where I used to live. Even though they were worried where they could get tree branches when they flew up hard, and their beaks were broken, the nests were made and their babies grew in them.

Built but collapsed, and possessed but disappeared. It was but it was. Although haven’t lived there but never left there. It seemed like a bare landscape but now is becoming just a landscape. It starts to make a noise. The city is waking up. Please be a noise to me. I want to wake up.
