Architectural projection · Tri-bowl, Songdo, Incheon · 2023
Human is an architectural projection created for Fantasy Island: Encounter of the Unknown and Imagination, an exhibition at Tri-bowl in Songdo, Incheon, as part of the International Art Network Project. A monumental golden face, formed from fluid, cell-like particles, surfaces across the curved timber wall of the building’s interior — appearing and dissolving as if emerging from water.
Tri-bowl is a multi-cultural space located in Songdo International City, Incheon. The name Tri-bowl is a combination of the word “triple,” meaning three, and “bowl.” The shape of Tri-bowl represents three bowls and symbolizes the harmony of sky, sea, and land in Incheon’s identity, as well as the Incheon Free Economic Zone of Songdo, Cheongna, and Yeongjongdo. Tri-bowl operates various cultural programs such as performances, exhibitions, and education and is operated by the Incheon Foundation for Arts and Culture. Tri-bowl is also famous for being the world’s first building to implement the ‘Inverse Shell’ construction method.
