Infinite Yellow 2004

Chul Hyun Ahn's 'Infinite Yellow' invites us into a luminous void. The symbolic power of light, particularly yellow, evokes knowledge and illumination. The motif of the receding tunnel or corridor, like the labyrinth, echoes through art history. Consider its presence in ancient Egyptian tombs, or Renaissance perspective studies, each suggesting a journey into the unknown. The tunnel serves as a visual metaphor for life's passage, an exploration of inner depths, a quest for enlightenment. The use of illusion engages our collective memory; it reminds us of similar attempts to portray infinite space through art. This recurring image is not linear but cyclical. The tunnel beckons us into the depths of our own psyche, a mirror reflecting our innermost fears and hopes.
