When Time Takes the Stage in Hong Seung-Hye’s Digital Dreamscapes
A computer mouse might seem an unlikely paintbrush, but for nearly four decades, Hong Seung-Hye has used digital tools to unravel the mysteries of time. Her signature series, from "Over the Layers" to "Organic Geometry," began with simple lines and grids, evolving into sculptures, soundscapes, and even stage performances.
Hong’s process is rooted in repetition—dots, lines, and planes multiply, yet each iteration subtly shifts, revealing that sameness can breed difference. Technology isn’t just a tool for her; it’s a collaborator, shaping how she explores memory, rhythm, and the slippery nature of time.
Her performances blur the line between prop and sculpture, with geometric forms and everyday movements transforming the stage into a living clock. Hong’s art doesn’t just depict time—it invites viewers to experience its cycles, paradoxes, and playful contradictions.
In her world, time isn’t a straight line but a layered, looping stage where past, present, and future perform together, always in motion, never quite the same.
