객체와 주체로서의 오브제 연구 - 본인 작품을 중심으로 -

Abstract

An object that is used as an artistic taste by expanding communications with viewers in the combination with various media through the development of technology, would need to be researched on the continuous expandability. The purpose of this study is to present the conceptual expandability of an object by analyzing the communication process between the object and the viewers through the object experience by the viewers. The research methods could be summarized as follows. After understanding the definition of an object and the characteristics of conceptual expansion in each period, this study examines the exhibition method that is changed by the conceptual expansion and changes in communication between object and viewers. By analyzing Olafur Eliasson’s installation work that is utilizing space, the object the viewers would experience was classified into object and subject. And this study analyzed the object experienced while observing the viewers who were appreciating the researcher’s work. The results of this study could be summarized as follows. First, regarding the conceptual expansion of an object in the installation work using the three-dimensional space, the observation of having viewers and not having viewers for the installed work finds out that the viewers are playing a role of another object within the object space. Second, in the object called the space of installation work, the objectified viewers show an attitude to experience the object as a subject. Third, it is possible to approach the conceptual expansion of the object by observing that the objectified viewers who are experiencing the work within the object space become another object. The significance of this study is to present the conceptual expandability of an object through communication between the object and the viewer by observing that the viewers’ act of experiencing the object becomes another object through the installation work that is using space.
