The Past, The Present-Street

Jeong’s work of landscape presents the coexistence of the past and the present. While on the right part the landscape of the street is being shown in real time through the CCD camera installed at the street light in front of the gallery, on the left part the landscape of the past is shown as if it is one of the present.
What should be focused on in this work is the very meeting area of the past and the present. For instance, a moving motorcycle of the left part suddenly disappears when it arrives at this area. And yet, at a very part where the motorcycle has disappeared, a car comes to appear. From this, we could witness that the past and the present meet and part from each other. Strictly speaking, this meeting point is the perfect proof for the present.
