Coexistence of gaze (silent communication against isolation)
In the dictionary definition of survival is a status of living or remaining to live. If we compare live with survival in the urban life, it looks as if survival is more proper. Paul Virilio, a French political theorist, argues, in his 'Speed and Politics', that dromos a prefix of dromologie means a race course, racing activity and rapid movement that can be meant 'a logic of race'. 'Competitiveness' is an implicit expression of urban life in which people strive for survival. The city is a gigantic artificial nature and people evolved with the city dynamically.
The relation with others is important in the course of urban life. What is the point to enumerate conditions for survival in the contemporary society and what is it to survive? People live not for a simple survival but cherish life because life itself deserves. Defense mechanism operates in the city for self survival. Such an attitude is nothing but a survival instinct to protect self.
Photos of Chae Heesool record unanimous multitude who defense themselves against massive structure of the contemporary society and who maintain their affiliates. They are people who seem to be isolated at first glance for their defense instinct to protect. American psychologist Barack defines such attitude to keep distance from others and to defense self as hedgehog dilemma.' Sigmund Freud also called it as ambivalent.
The artist's camera exposes isolated world among the crowd. They are strangers in a strange world. Tourists used to expose their oppressed ego under 'superego' in the tourist spots and city. So, a camera plays an important role in revealing their independent and isolated world.
The tourist's camera record landscape, taking a self and family picture to perform free expression through the lens. Chae's camera silently records such features in a silent observer's perspective. In this sense, the eyes of camera organically coexist' in and out of frame. What he intends in his picture is an operation of perspective between ego and others. The eyes of an artist communicate with contingency in the course of exchange of eyes between ego and others when taking a picture. Chae's proactive communication toward a camera demonstrates it. Such activity can generate emotional communication with others.
The relation of eyes between ego and other is similar to an action to show up a microphone in the screen or staring in the films giving a question to a camera man as shown in the file "Sherman's March, 1989" by Ross Mcelwee, an American documentary film director. Such scene breaks up 'transparency' of documentary. It destroys the fantasy of audiences who observe life as it stands, removes artificiality of the work, get people to believe as if they reflect reality. Such an attempt makes also people to see reality in theatre, film, media art and photo.
In Beneath the Planet of the Apes by Ted Post, Brent emotionally communicates with hiding people underground who have ugly appearance by radioactive contamination. Unspoken communication applies to photographic media too.
Another reason of communication in Chae's photos is a kind of harmonious balance when you link them in a line despite the different time and space. Individual feature in the photo creates overall harmony in the relation with background and others. But, it is hardly understandable to catch individual character and habit from his photos. That is because he keeps psychological distance as in the 'hedgehog dilemma'. Just as one does not know what other think, so does the mental of audiences who watch his photos.
Chae Heesool once remarks that 'travel is an activity to remove routine and to catch courage, hope and relief', but it is not clear whether tourists in his works really intended to empty their mind or to obtain knowledge and experience to recharge their life. What we should focus on his works is his observation without any prejudice in watching others but simply in observing them in the midst of square. He keeps focusing on tourists' activity without losing sight on others. Others walk. So does the camera. Full shot of the camera exerts silent communication that conflicts with isolation of ego. People may experience a grand frame of social structure where people are involved.
