Ask Koreans Who Do Not Ask
Seon Seung Hye, Chief Curator(Seoul Museum
of Art)
Hanna Hildebrand (Italy) presents a paper
in which 135 questions starting with “Why you?” are written, questions to be
asked to Korean people. While staying in the Seoul Art Space_Geumcheon, she
wrote the 135 questions in English and then translated them into Korean. The
Korean pronunciation of the translated questions is written with English
spelling. Of the 135 questions she will ask Koreans, there are many unexpected
ones. She asks about trifling things she discovered in Korea, and to Korean
people who do not ask them often, her questions can be strange. They wonder why
she is so inquisitive. They can understand what she asks when they listen to
her questions asked with her poor Korean pronunciation, realized when paying
attention to the questions one by one. Whether the questions are meaningful or
not is of no importance. What’s important is the question of why Korean people
do not ask such questions more often. Hidebrand’s work in Korea is currently
underway. She overdubs the Korean urban scenes she videotaped with her
questions uttered in Korean. Dubbing street scenes with an artist’s narration
has been done many times before: her attempt to ask questions in Korean, not
English, the international language, can be highly appreciated. I praise her
will to challenge: three months is ridiculously insufficient to learn Korean. Her
attitude is quite contrastive to that of other expats who would not learn Korean
despite staying in Korea for many years. Hanna Hildebrand is a young Italian
female artist whose world is under construction. As young artists often do, she
is a nomadic artist who has lived and worked in many overseas residencies
including the Seoul Art Space_Geumcheon where she stayed and worked for three months.
Korea is the second Asian country she stayed in, after Japan. If possible, she
wants to complete her work again in Korea.
