Jinyeob Cha, who choreographed the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, is a leading voice in contemporary performance art. Her work explores the body as both material and space, continually pushing the boundaries of performance. Rooted in an investigation of the female body and sensory experience, her artistic practice moves fluidly between dance and a wide range of media and formats. In the interview, she speaks about her work and her life between Namsan and Europe.

While studying in the Netherlands, Vakki experienced a pivotal moment in her artistic development during the retrospective of the ZERO Group at the Stedelijk Museum. She characterizes the group's methodology of encompassing light, space, repetition, and vibration within a sculptural framework, as a significant influence on her work. Currently situated at Namsan, Vakki investigates the convergence of time and space through installations that merge geometric forms with rhythm and dynamic energy. In this interview, she reflects how her time in Europe and the impact of the German ZERO Group have informed her modern visual expression.

Her stay in Belgium lasted merely a little over a year the artist Ga-Ae begins calmly. And yet, the sensibilities and impressions of that period continue to resonate throughout her collages. Since returning to Korea and having a child, she has been rethinking the borderlines between caregiving and work. We met the collage artist Ga-Ae in her rooftop studio overlooked by Namsan, where she spends her days, and invite you to explore her work, made not on a computer, but with paper and the scissors she holds.
