PULS

For her exhibition at Moeller Fine Art, Jeongmoon Choi realised the site-specific installation PULS, composed of white threads stretched across the floor and walls of the exhibition room, visible only under ultraviolet light. 

‘I draw directly into the room, walking through the space with thread,’ the artist explains. The luminous, kinetic environment invited visitors to navigate the work and surrounding space. In PULS, Choi references the movement and frequency of seimsic waves produced by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis, particularly in regions of high seismic activity such as East and Southeast Asia. 

Born in 1966 in Seoul, Korea, Jeongmoond Choi studied painting there before relocating to Germany in 1995 to continue her studies at the Kunsthochschule Kassel. Since 2001, she has lived and worked between Berlin and Seoul. 

PULS was presented in parallel with Mark Tobey: Beyond East and West. Although of differences generations and backgrounds, Choi, a contemporary Korean artist and Tobey (1890-1976), an American painter known for his abstract ‘white writing’ paintings, their practices intersect in ther shared concern with drawing as a way of structuring space. 

Like Tobey, Choi empasises movement over time and the redefinition of spatial perception. Through the interplay of surface and line, her installation and two-dimensional works generate a distinct sense of depth, opening an investigation into perspective within space.
