In the video installation High Fever, visual artist Eunju Hong presents a non-linear story of the mining industry and its associated mythologies and superstitions. Blending two worlds, she reveals the history of humanity’s desire for knowledge of the geological and dark depths of the earth through period mining mechanical machines. At the same time, it turns our interest in the opposite direction, to the distant universe, which is brought into the museum’s enclosed spaces using planetarium technology. This work is the artist’s look back at the cultural interest in technological and industrial development and its effects, which can be seen metaphorically as an open wound in our earth.
