키무라 별 르뫈 kimura byol lemoine 木村 ビヨル レムワンーPOJA-GI

In partnership with Festival Accès Asie

POJA-GI is a play on words in Korean. In Korean, POJA means “let's have a look”, but it's also an expression meaning “see you again” or “see you later” or “see you next time”. Derived from the Korean word TAE GEUK GI (Tae meaning 'greatness' and Geuk meaning 'eternity'), GI is the name given to the red and blue circle on the Korean flag. When written as a single word, POJAGI refers to an assemblage of fabric scraps - a kind of traditional Korean patchwork. The title refers to diasporic histories and gestures unconsciously or consciously learned in new territories of voluntary or forced emigration.  

During the production and presentation short-term residency Interval, a collaboration between OBORO and Festival Accès Asie, artist kimura byol lemoine seeks to bring together a plethora of diasporic realities, whether international or national, and create a video mosaic of 100 channels. It will include illustrations, sounds, zines or photographic portraits of gestures that represent experiences of displacement. These encounters will create a video poja-gi of stories and gestures of diasporic realities.
