Sangwoo Yoo explores the senses lost in contemporary society by engaging with objects imbued with temporality. His practice highlights the value of natural elements that are increasingly marginalized, while seeking to recover perception through experiences that traverse the material and immaterial. In his exhibition Where Memory Becomes the Earth, Yoo collects discarded plants from urban Chicago and public gardens, transforming them into installations that bear the traces of time. As the exhibition progresses, the work gradually fades under environmental conditions and ultimately returns to nature as a catalyst for new life. Through his use of sustainable materials, Yoo proposes a new way of experiencing art – one rooted in ecological cycles and artistic renewal.
