Coagula Curatorial

  
It wasn't easy to find Coagula Curatorial gallery for a first-time visitor, but China town in a rainy day was beautiful. My friend who became interested in this exhibition after our conversation came with me. We spent some time looking around small stores bursting with items like lovely oriental umbrellas.

The exhibition wasn't that big, but it had a great atmosphere. There were quite a number of people and it seemed like everyone knows each other, which reminded me of a private exhibition held at a Gallery I used to go. I took a picture with this painting that described a man taking selfie/a picture of something surrounded by birds. This one was my favorite among them because I felt like it plainly demonstrates our contemporaries' obsession with technology. Old days, we enjoyed things with our eyes, but these days, we do that through camera lens. Paradoxically, we cover our eyes with camera lens to keep that moment, the memory for a long time.

I think it's ridiculous to forgo the opportunity to enjoy valuable moments in order to remember it more vividly. However, at the same time, I know that I will automatically take out my camera when I'm in the moment. This exhibition alerted me to the importance of momentariness that I have been missing.
