According to some Korean creation narratives, in the beginning there were two suns and two moons: The suns were too hot for humans, and the moons were too cold. When twin divine archers shot down one of each a balanced world was born, it begins the process of making the world inhabitable for humans.
Myths emerge from our past, they emerged with our consciousness, they make sense of the world by projecting our interior narratives upon it. In fact, our world today is equally rich with myriad possibilities… there is room enough still for every myth. Within the world of possibility our moons and stars will indeed disappear. There are 67 moons orbiting Jupiter. Some are similar to the Earth's moon, but there are also many other incredible variations of lunar natural satellites, celestial bodies with other stories to tell.
Given that the world was not created for humans, but rather within this world a fortuitous balance of forces created a state from which we could emerge, it seems so curious that our civilization should continue to assert such a destabilizing influence upon it. This work was created during a Korean arts residency. The powerful commonalities between Japanese and Korean cultures were never far from my mind.
