Oh Brother Series consists of works based on several characters that inhabit a virtual space constructed based on a traditional Korean landscape painting, “Sun and Moon and Five Peaks,” which was historically placed behind the king to symbolize his sovereign power.
The characters that reside inside the virtual space are not sovereign beings but rather partial subjects that do not have any agency.
The “Nature Boy” perpetually strives to erase himself and become one with the environment through camouflaging.
