Point of View
Point of View is a series of three 24×36-inch posters readable only under RGB light. Each poster overlays three images and texts in cyan, magenta, and yellow, addressing key historical events in Korea, including the Sewol ferry disaster and the Gwangju Uprising. Under natural light, these layers collapse into visual noise, rendering any single message unreadable.
The project does not argue that all perspectives are equally valid. Instead, it examines how even undeniable tragedies are understood differently depending on where attention is placed. Facts may be fixed, but interpretation is shaped by emphasis—what is foregrounded, and what is left out.
Each event is divided into three analytical frames. In the Sewol Ferry poster, Power focuses on governmental response, Voice on public protest, and Truth on the moment of the sinking itself. In the Gwangju poster, Freedom addresses media censorship, Authority exposes state violence, and Justice highlights civilian resistance. These are not competing truths, but distinct entry points into the same historical reality.
RGB light functions as an analytical filter. When viewers illuminate the posters with red, green, or blue light, one layer becomes legible while others recede. What appears chaotic at first resolves into meaning through focused attention, revealing both the necessity and the limits of any single perspective.
