Art in Dongsan is pleased to feature a special live art performance by acclaimed artist Choi Sori. “Visible Sound: Wish Into the Wind,” is a multimedia piece that invites us to reflect on the origins of life and the majesty of nature.

Through drumming and manipulation of metal surfaces, Choi Sori creates an abstract interplay of light, color, and sound that seems to materialize the invisible energies that animate our planet. The surfaces reflect rays of light in shifting patterns depending on the movement of viewers within the space.

Sori conveys the idea that all matter and energy in the world has its own essence and message. He sees himself as a creative messenger, translating these messages into perceptual experiences that harness sound, rhythm, and the visual arts.

This performance also represents Sori’s lifelong creative philosophy of harmonious coexistence with the natural environment. Created in coordination with the seasonal changes in his native Korea over multiple years, the Wind series, Kalpa, and Fire Paintings on view alongside the performance emerge from a meditative collaboration between artist and Mother Nature.

We hope this performance and exhibition provides a mindful escape from everyday concerns, reminding us of the ephemeral beauty of the natural forces that sustain life on our precious planet.
