About the Performance

In Sal Sal's Love Spirals Horror, or in the love that spirals through horror, horror is not a fear to run away from. It is eerie because it is unfamiliar, yet it is also a sensation confronted by a presence that shrinks within a strange world, embracing itself with love.

This performance proposes a new narrative that thinks through the senses and connects the individual to society, within an environment where sound, light, fog, video, and body overlap. In this performance, various works by the following participants intersect and continue.

Role 2.Graphic Designer

Designed online and offline promotional posters for Arcade Seoul and the artist's personal campaigns.

The artist's performance centered on bodily sensations, with keywords: skin, blood, bruises, bones. Using 3D textures, I created posters that expressed these concepts aesthetically and abstractly. The graphic posters were completed through collaboration with Zurich-based typography designer Minjong Kim, incorporating customized typography with texturing and sculpting techniques.
