c'est pas là, c'est par là / it's not that way, it's this way
How does a crowd move? When we’re alone, do we move differently from when we’re among others? These are the kinds of questions that struck Juhyung Lee during a rally in Seoul in 2015. With his performance installation c’est pas là, c’est par là (it’s not that way, it’s this way), Lee transforms a crowd of spectators into a problem-solving collective as they come together to unravel a tangled labyrinth of strings resembling a cat’s cradle. Moving under and over strands of string, each rolling their own ball, the spectators become actors in the performance, and in the process, become more than the sum of individuals. At the end of the string, does one find the ‘we’?
