Road (1993) is prime example of Chung Seoyoung's works composed of ordinary objects. Originally exhibited at the abandoned substation in Singen, Germany, as part of the group exhibition Symposion Umspannwerk in 1993, Road consists of plastic buckets placed on wheeled legs, containing wooden balls with intersecting roads drawn on them. As suggested by the wheels and the round wooden balls, Road becomes a form representing continuous space and time, while the bucket serves as a container for these elements in motion. For Chung, objects do not merely serve the function of creating sculpture. But rather, she seeks to bring out what has yet to be said about them – opening up other passageways that differ from and go beyond accepted and superficial points of view.
