《加里峰-133》,是藝術家在首爾邊緣地區的加里峰洞找了一個僅三平方公尺的小房間中寄居了四個月,並以其中發現的壁紙作為素材創作的作品。該處曾是工廠工人或來自中國的朝鮮族居住的小屋,前一任租戶已搬離此處,僅留下了些許生活用品。他在13層壁紙之間發現了如女性勞工的工作日程表、住客作為心靈慰藉的明星照片和塗鴉等等,並將其收集起來。他把壁紙從牆上揭下,浸泡在水槽中進行分離和乾燥,然後將分離後的幾十張壁紙一張張吊掛於天花板上,讓觀眾從其間經過時可以看到舊壁紙上所留下的痕跡。這件作品試圖還原這個房間中,勞工/移工/中國朝鮮族人等多元住客在層層交疊的壁紙上紀錄的時間,既是挖掘個人歷史的證明,也具有「重複書寫之羊皮書卷(palimpsest)」的特質。
Garobong-133 is a work born from wallpaper discovered during the artist's four-month stay in Garibong-dong, a Seoul suburb. The room, once home to factory workers or Korean-Chinese immigrants, retained traces of its previous occupants, including abandoned daily necessities. Within the 13 layers of wallpaper, Yuon uncovered personal items such as female workers' schedules and celebrity photos or random drawing used for spiritual solace, which he repurposed for his work.
Yuon meticulously separated the wallpaper layers, soaking them in water and drying them before suspending dozens of these sheets from the ceiling. This arrangement allows viewers to traverse the installation, observing the marks imprinted on the aged wallpaper. In this work, Yuon reconstructs the temporal and biographical narratives embedded in the room's layered history, inhabited by a diverse array of residents including labourers, migrants, and Korean-Chinese individuals. The work serves as both archaeological evidence of former tenants' personal histories and a palimpsest of lived experiences.
