One Horse or Two Horses? (In a Hungry Voice)
DVD, Color, Sound
09:40, 2008

The video shows the artist herself speaking, in a talking head format, but the voice that comes out is not just one but six female voices, all with different accents, attempting to speak the same text in sync.
Sometimes they sync up really well but other times they go completely out of sync and stumble over some words, which were kept without editing or corrections. In fact, the artist shot the video of the piece (i.e. the artist speaking) at the very end, so the artist was the one who had to adjust her speech based on the spoken performance by the participants in order to sync up. The piece was inspired by the question that the artist had: "What would it sound like if a group of people with different accents spoke at the same time?" To be shown as a video installation with headphones.

Created to accompany a live reading of text on fasting at Eat Art event. In American Sign Language, one signs the word, fast (abstain from food) by putting his/her thumb and index finger together and “zipping” one’s mouth.  The sign also looks as if the person is closing his/her mouth to be silent.

This work plays with the idea of accents acquiring visual effects by juxtaposing two people of the same race and with the same "origin", but with different accents.  The listener tends to form a picture of a certain race based on the accent of the speaker. I attempt to sync up with the other performer's breath and spoken words; I speak English with an ‘accent’ and she speaks without one.

What does it mean to insert and impose one's voice onto another's? One screen presents Speech Girl speaking about herself and her speech, while the other screen presents Dubbing Girl dubbing her voice for Speech Girl's speech. Silence and pauses within Speech Girl’s “dialogue” are replaced by anxiety and the anticipation of Dubbing Girl.

Speaking in two tongues and the silence in-between spoken sounds. Two characters speak different languages: one in English and the other in Korean. When I speak one of the two languages, the other language resonates in my speech; therefore, I am always speaking the two different languages at the same time.

flat·fish [flat-fish]
noun, plural
any fish of the order Heterosomata (Pleuronectiformes), including the halibut, sole, flounder, etc., having a greatly compressed body and swimming on one side, with both eyes on the upper side in the adult.

A mother and a daughter buy a flatfish. The daughter becomes disappointed to find out that the fish doesn’t have both eyes on one side yet because it is a baby. She names it Flatfish and is anxious to see the pale side of the fish.  The fish refuses to see only one side, so the eye migration never occurs and it stays “immature.”  The fish does not struggle, but the owners do because of people’s expectations for the name, Flatfish.  The mother/daughter finally decides to adapt it to others’ expectations. Now she is about to see the pale side of the fish.

Infinite Loop, 2002

The infinite loop suggests a complete circulation; however, the repetition makes the language more fragmented and individualized because it suggests more broken down narratives to the audience. There are gaps and disconnections and each existing and missing narrative creates links to other dimensions of the story. By syncing my voice onto different characters and images, I recreate characters and insert them into my personal memories.

There are two performers. They take over each other’s voices and speak for each other, or they speak for themselves.

Narrator, Screen Actor and Images work together to present fragments of different stories. By giving each other instructions and obeying and disobeying them, the distinction between the three characters becomes blurred and exchanged.
