Hye Soon Seo work with an interest in the sounds that exist around her. Using sounds, language, noise, silence, and voices that can be heard in the surrounding environment as objects, she creates sound installations that evoke new ideas or thoughts while connecting them with elements largely unrelated to sounds. She expresses sound in the form of installations and media images. Her working method focuses on sound reinterpretation and compositional power, such as excavation, excerpt, adaptation, and rearrangement.
The selection criteria for the sound utilized in work are seemingly planned and selected by the individual. It is the “sound” in the landscape encountered in a place moved by some invisible and incomprehensible fine network. She learned that while creating works with vibrations that travel through the air as a material for many years, hearing and sight seem to be separated. The boundary between the two has a very delicate interaction. It is intertwined elements that affect each other when we perceive and sense sound, including the visual image of hearing, the auditory feeling of sight, and the characteristics of the listening space.
