Wings Over the Pacific

Self Portrait Over the course of a day in COVID quarantine (USA), time moves through a young couple as quotidian matters of cohabitating in 2020 persist.

Listed Seoungho Cho writes: "When I noticed some moments from my studio window in its prosaic reality, I started to make a 'List' of these accumulated moments of lights and colors in time suggesting a flow of unconsciousness. Ironically, throughout the seasons with endless changes of light and shadows, I became to numb to time. I have been in the midst of a meditation, which extended both through my visual and psychological plane."

Latency/Contemplation 1 Writes Seoungho Cho: "The sea horizons which I observe through time lapsed video recordings were a constant mutation with recondite colors between the water and air. I depicted this space as light, shadow, colors, shapes and lines as interpretative horizons. Each line with its own intrinsic 'intuition' metamorphoses my perception, exploring how all these personal, inner experiences, both illusionary and tactile, shift and transform into a visual poem. The specific embodiments of the relationship between the images I recorded, and their impact on me, I push my images of it to the edge of abstraction, the result akin to 'hard edge' or 'soft edge' painting."

Poner el Canto

Iris Iris is a meditation on the death of a family member. Here Cho deploys the camera as metaphor, likening the opening of the camera's iris and its saturation with light to a form of video tears. The resulting piece depicts a stark, white landscape of mourning. The soundtrack uses soft, whispering, dreamlike voices and a musical droning to quietly convey a sense of personal loss.

Identical Time Identical Time is an exploration of isolation within an urban environment. With skilled visual manipulations, Cho transforms images of a graffiti-marred subway window and the reflection of a subway car as it traverses a station into moments of sheer enigmatic beauty. This image mantra is further heightened by Stephen Vitiello's poignant soundtrack, in which auditory unpredictability mirrors human experience.
