Translating the boundary from identity into space, Beyond Red transforms the act of seeing into a spatial negotiation. Rather than a fixed division, the work operates as a volumetric condition—an active threshold that continuously recalibrates presence and absence.
From Identity to Spatial System
Developed as a spatial evolution of Marginal Man (2017), the series advances the concept of the boundary from a perceptual state to an active system.
Where earlier works investigated the psychological edges of identity, Beyond Red externalizes this tension into physical space.
The installation reorganizes visibility, distance, and movement, operating not as a static barrier but as an atmospheric threshold that fluctuates with the viewer’s position.
↑ From scribbles to structure
The ambiguous identity of Marginal Man is externalized into a spatial field.
Constructed through the accumulation of red thread, the surface functions as a gradient of opacity.
As viewers navigate the work, the boundary transforms from a line of separation into a field of transition.
Figures behind the partition dissolve and re-emerge, rendering visibility not as an absolute given, but as a condition negotiated through density, overlap, and motion.
Materiality: The Layered Threshold
Avoiding singular objecthood, the series is designed as a modular system of varying proportions.
Distinct units at different scales allow for flexible reconfiguration, generating diverse spatial conditions—from compression to openness.
This structural adaptability demonstrates how subtle shifts in alignment can recalibrate the perception of space without requiring full enclosure.

Reframing the boundary, the work operates not as a barrier, but as a dynamic condition of perception.
