Choi Taehoon looks at a world beyond functionalism by bringing about specific changes in the forces that act between objects and humans. Taking a step away from the useful relationships between humans and objects, we seek new reciprocity through sculptural practice. He traces shapes by touching objects both inside and outside of life with a plastic sense of making lumps by attaching and removing clay.

He has been experimenting with so-called ‘hacking sculpture’ from various angles, which involves thinking of ready-made items formatively and reconstructing them in a way that goes against functional principles, and starting with his solo exhibition 《SAL》 (2021), he began to add new flesh to the existing language. SAL, which means both skeleton, skin, and muscle, is an experiment on objects that grow through spontaneity and coincidence. Staying on Gapado Island, he observes natural objects interacting with the wind, waves, and terrain, and records the senses that respond to changes in space.
