고양이 액체설
Melting Cats
일상생활에서의 고양이를 관찰하여 물에서 태어난 고양에 대한 이야기로 포스터를 제작, 연구하였습니다. 이 포스터는 4장으로 이루어져 있습니다. 집고양이의 평균수명은 15~20년이지만 한국에 사는 길고양이의 평균수명은 약 4년이라고 합니다. 길고양이는 자연사가 아닌 각종 질병과 교통사고에 노출되어 일찍 생을 마감합니다. 4장의 포스터를 통해 길고양이에 대한 관심과 죽음에 대한 경각심을 가지고 어떻게 하면 사람과 고양이가 공존하며 살 수 있을지에 대해 생각해보는 계기가 되었으면 합니다.
I saw a cat in my daily life and made and researched posters with storytelling about cats born in the water. This poster consists of 4 pages. The average life span of a house cat is 15 to 20 years, but the average life span of a Stray cat in Korea is about 4 years. Stray cat are exposed to various diseases and traffic accidents, not natural causes, and die early. Through the posters in Pages 4, You have to think about the death of a Stray cat. I hope it will be an opportunity to think about how humans and cats can coexist.
Cats use their time freely. Cats can always return to liquid. Time is objective to people but subjective to cats. The cat's time doesn't flow to one side. People belong to the present and do not know the nature of time. On the other hand, cats do not belong to time. As the saying goes, "Cats have nine lives," cats are free from the essence of time.
The cat escaped the bell. There is such a trace. I think while looking at the cat and bell that became liquid. ‘Why Belling the cat?’ The Bell and the Cat is not the answer. You have to think about what Bell means to a cat that is free from the essence of time.
'Run some water over one's face' is the same meaning as 'Cat face wash' in Korea. I think cats are lazy and do nothing. But cats are philosophical animals. Because cats always think about going back to liquid.
The relationship between cats and fish has been in prejudice for a long time. These prejudices appear in the form of a cat seeking fish. But let's get out of prejudice. Fish may be looking for cats.
