Artists Statement
Eunju Hong
scholar visual arts 1.7. – 30.9.2024
What made you apply for the otte1 scholarship?
For the new project, I wanted to be away from the big cities where I usually am. I thought I could have a closer look at the sky and the sea, and have new insight about smaller things.
What did you work on during your stay?
I worked on the video project ‘somnium’, which was exhibited at the last month of my residency in Munich.
What inspired you at the Künstlerhaus in Eckernförde?
Me and Sunčica used to go out to the beach in the night for a moon watching, it was interesting to see the clear sphere shape of the sky.
What do you take away from Eckernförde for your further artistic development?
The friendliness and the support of the board members and the people in Eckernförde.
