‘Distant Calling’ is a catalog and script book of an exhibition by Seoul(KR)-based artist, Eunhee Kang. The book contains still images of three videos and the dialogues of calls between two people living in distant countries.
Three calls - ‘Distant Calling,’ ‘Blinking Helio,’ and ‘Space Odyssey’- talk about satellite, high-rise residential complexes, death of symbols, fatigue, and the ancient nature that is now alien to us.
From the height of satellite where their voices transmit through and looking down on the earth where the uncertainties are pixelated, the callers share their anxiety from modern city life and a speculated future in which personal and collective desires clash with each other.
The book contains additional references and a QR code link to the audio files of the dialogues. - Eunhee Kang
