Sunday Escape - Beomsik Won's archisculptures

Photographs, but he is not a photographer.
Designs buildings, but he is not an architect.
Builds three-dimensional collages, but it is not a sculptor.

Beomsik Won takes shots of architectural works by different authors and assembles them together to form a unified structure, a virtual ''archisculpture".

For the Korean artist, architecture is a language that can be manipulated at will, offering a wide range of possibilities as an artistic medium. So, through a complex process of deconstruction and reconstruction, Won creates fantastic facilities, a Baroque mix of features, styles, and functions through the analysis of selected fragments of the city gathered here and there and transformed in fantastic buildings that appear to be real - even if tinged with a surreal mood.

As the editing technique for the Russian director Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein, even for Won collage creates, through a collision of disparate elements, histories that otherwise would have remained below the surface. This is the idea behind the first part of his work, while the second focuses on the concept of antigravity: monumental buildings that encapsulate incongruent structures, precariously, fragments suspended in midair and compacted exterior facades in different sizes. Watching Beomsik Won's hybrid architectures is leaving the door open imagination, open up the possibility of a different reality, a fantastic city.
