Infinite Layers: Between the Point and Time
In the history of art, the attempt to overcome the physical limitations of the flat plane and condense three-dimensional spatiality and four-dimensional temporality onto a single picture plane has been an enduring challenge and a central philosophical inquiry for artists. Beyond being a matter of technical virtuosity, this endeavor is closely tied to ontological questions concerning how humans perceive and define the world.
During the Renaissance, the architect Filippo Brunelleschi developed linear perspective, introducing a sense of depth onto the canvas through mathematical order. Later, Cubist artists such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque disrupted the traditional notion of a single viewpoint by arranging multiple aspects of an object simultaneously within a single picture plane, compressing the temporal movement of the observer into a single point. Similarly, Futurist artists such as Giacomo Balla sought to visualize the flow of time by capturing the dynamism and speed of modern mechanical civilization.
These movements and developments reflected a shift in modern thought: moving beyond the philosophical desire to perfectly represent the physical world as perceived by the human eye, toward grasping the fluid and indeterminate nature of space and time.
The artists participating in Infinite Layers: Between the Point and Time—Mirae Kim, Moonassi, Younghwan Park, and Chung-hyun Cho—all employ painting on the flat picture plane as their primary medium. One shared aesthetic context in their practices is the attempt to condense three-dimensional spatiality and four-dimensional temporality within a single picture plane. As a result, their work generates a multidimensional space-time in which multiple layers overlap and intertwine.
We are now moving beyond the digital age toward what may be called a quantum era. The continual emergence of new technological media enables artists to confront new challenges. In this exhibition, the participating artists expand the relationships between point, line, plane, space, and time—elements they have long explored within the tradition of flat-plane painting—through diverse technological media. The layers of multiple strata once condensed within the flat plane are physically deconstructed and reconstructed through techniques such as painting, photography, video, and holography.
In particular, the holographic technology presented for the first time in this exhibition is a technology of perceptual illusion that employs the interference of light to render two-dimensional flat images into three-dimensional sculptural forms, thereby offering viewers a new multisensory experience.
Art has always sought to move beyond visible representation in order to capture the invisible order of the cosmos and the continuity of time. The exhibition Infinite Layers: Between the Point and Time, presented at Domoheon, experiments with the relationship between singular and multiple layers, moves beyond the limitations of flatness, and offers an opportunity to reconsider the meanings of spatiality and temporality.
