As Heavy as My Body,

2021, Performance video, Clay(121lb) and body in the train, (00:12:45)




In the midst of pandemic and racial hate crime in New York, I boarded the train. Carrying the clay as heavy as her body weight with her, she has to behave her body differently and needs help from others to figure out the architecture of the station. Choi finds her seat and fills clay into the space between her body and the seat. The train turns into a workspace. In this work, artist’s body functions as the mold for a sculpture. Choi proceeds the performance as she puts herself in the train as a weirdo, touches every corner of her body, and keeps sculpting clay towards an unknown end product. At the end of the performance, Choi achieves the ambiguous shape of the clay by turning the airy negative space around the body into the visible. What happens in the performance poetically speaks the value of things that have always existed there as unseen.
