On top of a clay pot sits a sticky octopus, artificial flowers, and a candlestick. Illuminated by the reflected light, they are adorned with the codes '404 Not Found' and '403 Forbidden'. These web browser codes are assigned when the server or resource does not exist or when the server denies access to the client. Between the real and the fake, the rigid and the flexible, the living and the dead, the hidden and the revealed. This work encapsulates the boundary errors of all these, an ironic narrative captured through the observer's gaze.

Obscura is a Seoul-based art gallery that first founded in 2015, then as SPACE IKKI, located in Seoungbuk-dong area. The name of the gallery derives from the Latin phrase camera obscura, meaning “dark room,” which refers to the first optical device used as a painting-aid, whereby an image is projected through a hole onto its opposite wall in a darkened room. Obscura aims to make contemporary art accessible to a wide range of audience and provide various artistic and cultural contexts for interdisciplinary efforts, by emphasizing performative elements of curatorial practice and exhibition making. With keen eyes on sophisticated work by artists with solid and idiosyncratic practice, Obscura has been supporting and promoting contemporary artists in the fields of painting, installation, photography and new media.
