Eun Woo Cho, Red Skirt Project, Video, 2 min, 2005
 
     
 

“Red Skirt Project” is part of a ceremony celebrating human beings. It is an emergency action for this sinful society. “Red Skirt Project,” performed by several different female models, including self, in a public space. We were dressed in re-creations of Korean traditional skirts.

The skirt did not have the ordinary function of covering the lower body but was upside down to cover our faces. The performers pulled their skirt to cover their faces. In addition, they had worn white racy panties and high heels. Whenever they moved, they screamed and shouted “APPA.” This means daddy in Korean. Performance projects transform individually and collectively as we make radical creative space into other spaces that confirm and maintain our subjectivity. It is transportation both ancient and new.

My performative acts re-create and replace space and time. It is not only about representing the inconsistency of the Korean Woman Bride but also about human physical fear, death, sexuality, negation of identity and about unsolved endless questions. This is for all ages, ethnicities, religions, and races.
