Press Release
edit

Punishment is bound to bring suffering. And from a more human perspective, perhaps even Atlas broke into a sweat beneath the weight he bore. Over time, that sweat, pooling at the edge of his shoulder, may have caused the celestial sphere to slip ever so slightly, leaving behind fine cracks along its surface. Within those fractures, new fissures may have formed—ones that escape resolution within existing systems. Atlas, once a figure of endurance who moved beyond his mythological origins—reshaped through layers of misunderstanding and cultural interpretation into a symbol of structure—has come to be seen as one who opens up new gaps in meaning. Similarly, in this exhibition, Jo Eunsi carefully observes the subtle deviations and dissonances within what appears to be a stable, systematic world.
