Gang Moon Sick Born in 1986, Korea
The designer Gang Moon Sick is interested in the lives and behaviors of various people: he likes observing the constellations of objects and landscapes and their underlying patterns, contemplating on spaces and dreams, and feeling their breaths. With imagination, his work vividly captures his observations of the lively experiences. He graduated from Kaywon School of Art and Design and the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam, and has exhibited at the Brno International Biennial of Graphic Design in 2012.
For this work, Seo Hyo In and Gang Moon Sick have collaborated to create a new poem. Gang provided a set of words based on his recent experience of a trip to Morocco, and then Seo composed a poem using the vocabulary. The resulting Seoul Desert captures aspects metaphorically shared by the city and the desert (numerous elements gathering and scattering, city lights and mirages), speaking of longings and illusions.
