Cindy Yunha Jang x Sung Hwan
Toad Hole
Moving in and out of the spell-casting shape of a 두꺼비 (toad), the body folds into makeshift homes and sites of safety, echoing the chant “두껍아 두껍아.”
Like children forming a 두꺼비 집 (toad’s house) in the sand, we are constantly searching for new ways to build our lives from what we have. Through creating moulds and hollows from our physical selves, Cindy Yunha and Sunghwan trace the remnants left behind. *This might even end with a karaoke party.
