Perfect Love

A black and white monotype print features a pale grey, delicately textured egg-shaped orb within a pitch black field.

What rests inside you, warm and singing? Guided by their grandfather's enduring love, artist Taehee hopes to reconnect with him after his death. Taehee navigates time, distance, ancestry, and tradition to reach their grandfather's burial mound on their own terms. A virtual journey from Brooklyn, New York to a burial site just outside of Seoul, South Korea reveals what's possible when we can still feel the love and strength given to us by someone long ago. This audio documentary was inspired by "Walking to My Grandfather's Mound," a video artwork and printed zine created by Taehee.

Produced with support from Falling Tree Productions for BBC 3’s Between the Essays. Broadcast on February 6th, 2020.

Perfect Love was featured at the Barbican Cultural Centre’s Soundhouse: Intimacy and Distance and in Earlid’s Memory Hole.
