bacc exhibition Resort
An exhibition for landscape of rest
Space, time, and possession of self define the meaning of 'Resort' that is different from an explanation of place we are familiar. An art exhibition for landscape offers visions relating to the world and the surroundings to shift personal perception from outward realm to inward void for a true understanding in the concept of rest. Through broadening boundary of landscape, averting concept of time, transforming emotions to comprehension, and finding a specific position of self in the vast geography, the artworks voice diverse narrations extending meaning of landscape, supporting the attitude of rest that reaches beyond the physical mean. |
