아아 我我, 130x130cm, inkjet print, 2011

항상 사람들의 마음 속에는 내가 아닌 다른 사람이라고
생각되는 타인적 자아가 존재한다고 생각한다.

나는 그러한 존재를 무당의 모습에서 찾아 보고자 이 작업을 준비 해 보았다. 
신과의 공존 속에서 자신의 삶을 살아 가고 있는 무녀 혹은 박수무당.

그들의 삶에 대한 애환과 고찰을 단순한 기록적 사진이 아닌
다중 노출 기법을 이용하여 보다 직접적인 접근으로
"두 자아적"이라는 표현을 해 보았다.

I have always believed that all people have within them another personality that is completely different from their own.
I have tried to capture this from the shamans. The Korean female shaman, or Baksu Mudang (the male counterparts)
live their lives in coexistence with God. The multi-exposure technique was used in order to not only make a simple record of their lives,
but to have a more direct approach to their sorrows and thoughts, and therefore depicting their "dual personalities."
As I derived inspiration from "Images of the Shaman" by Shin Yun Bok, who drew the shamans of the past in a time
when Korean female shamans could not even leave their names behind due to their low social statuses.
I tried to focus on the importance of shamans as those who cure people of their problems,
as well as their cultural value in the traditional arts.
