놀이 개념을 기반으로 한 동시대 미술의 오브젝트 연구 -아니쉬 카푸어와 이사 상브를 중심으로-

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide a clue to understand the contemporary times that can no longer be understood by modern metaphysical thinking and establish an eye for the near future through the analysis of the works of Anish Kapoor and Issa Samb based on contemporary play properties. Thus, in this study, a methodology is used to compare and analyze how each artist's works visually respond to the main keywords of Nietzsche's philosophy, such as eternal return, will to power, Übermensch, be carryed away, etc. Furthermore, the researcher analyzes the works of two artists who emphasize audience participation and process from the perspective of Nietzsche’s art physiology. Anish Kapoor's work is a tragedy about a space where he is carryed away and shoots a red wax cannonball against the wall. In addition, the work of reciprocating by passing a lump of red wax through the door is an eternal return that overcomes pain and regenerates itself. In his exhibition, Issa Samb shows the play of an innocent child’s naming, that is, the will to power, with the appropriation of various objects. In the performance, he feels pleasure on his own and plays a game of trying to become an Übermensch that transcends humans. Kapoor is more characteristic of the process of playing with physical properties, and Samb is more focused on the play of appropriation that expands from objects to relationships. However, both artists have something in common that solidifies the view of work with fundamental objects ‘red’ and ‘body’ and shows the perspective of art physiology, where the audience also becomes a part of art. In conclusion, although the two artists have different styles, they both have the nature of contemporary play. Through this, we can understand a little bit about the decentralized and rapidly changing contemporary lifestyle and art world.
