How is a relationship formed, continued, and ended? What Hong Sung-Chul is interested in are the psychological conflicts in and relativity of a relationship. To form a relationship, a response to an action is expected, and to continue the relationship, it is necessary to repeat and ‘tune’ such responses. If the continued responses are not satisfactory, or if there are no responses, the relationship is destined to end.
In this work, the artist tries to lead viewers to question human relationships and their own existence by allowing them to experience changes in the relationship when an action (sound) of a doer (viewer) gives impetus to the other (work of art), and then its response comes back to the doer. Viewers are left to question modern men and women involved in numerous shallow relationships, about whom they are related to and for what, which eventually leads to the ultimate question: ‘Who am I?’
