Chung Seoyoung's artistic career began with her very first exhibition The Work Made From Several Tens of Drawings and Some Sculpture (HP Schuster Gallery, Stuttgart, 1994), after she completed her studies in sculpture in Seoul and Germany. While comprising of drawings and sculptures, this exhibition was more reminiscent of an actual room inside a domestic space, rather than a gallery space. While the drawings and the sculpture were displayed independently, the overall installation was such that the objects and furniture all formed one unified interior. In her solo exhibition held at the Kumho Museum of Art (Seoul, 1995), Untitled was also installed as if belonging to an interior. The sculpture in Untitled is derived from a pictogram graphic in mass transit that instructs passengers to hold tightly onto railings to prevent them from falling. Two hands hold onto the railing to resist against the vehicle's speed, thereby embodying Chung's idea that her sculpture is in a sense, the tension that comes from the contradictory ideas of "movement" and "rest" coexisting. Rather than describing "movement," Chung seeks to present her meditation in regards to movement itself. It is through the unseen movement that she forges the relationship between the object and the audience. It may be more accurate to call these grouping of drawings and sculpture as serving as research on the fragmented nature of experience as well as the quality and condition of an object. Untitled was introduced as part of Chung Seoyoung's retrospective, What I Saw Today (2022), at Seoul Museum of Art.
