《4 and one-half, knuckle》, 2021.11.18 – 2021.11.29, Art Space Hanchigak, Pyeongtaek
1. Two eyes. Two ears. One nose. One mouth. Two arms and two legs attached to a single torso, and five fingers and five toes connected to them. This is a “body.” With just this small list of words, we can be made to imagine a “body.” 2. Length of limbs, shoulder width and waist circumference, head size, hip size, weight n kg, height n cm. This is “someone.” Even if the body is the same, through these numerical values we can imagine a particular person.

《Random Play》, 2025.01.09 – 2025.01.19, Seoul Art Space Geumcheon PS333
《Random Play》 takes as its starting point the exhibition of the same title held in 2022. This project emerged from Daseul Song’s working method, which does not confine images and moving images to mere visual information but recognizes them as objects with volume, recontextualizing or decontextualizing each unit according to the environments through which they circulate.

《Night Landscape》, 2022.05.11 – 2022.07.31, Space ISU
At night, a world entirely different from the day unfolds. When darkness descends and the streets grow quiet, the things that slumbered in daylight awaken and begin to move. The chirping of insects is heard; the smell and texture of the air are felt; trees and buildings appear larger.

[Critique] Digital Landscapes by a Second-Rate Artist
"I wanted to make fake photographs that are extremely meaningless because I was really irritated by words and theories surrounding art. I wished my photographs to be meaningless, empty, and completely nonsensical."
