I displayed personal belongings in the public area and hung them together. Keys, toothbrush, soap, gloves, and a bucket containing disinfectant seemed to be in the shape of a QR code with connecting lines connecting each part. These are daily items directly related to our bodies. The identity of the subject seems so real, but it is just a combination of symbolic signs, just as we are now gradually becoming a collection of symbols.
As a digital medium, two-dimensional code connects private and public. The development of media technology and the intervention of power have led to the transformation of the concept of privacy, which defines our identity and dissolves our identity at the same time.
