One conceptual art creates a dual place with the concept of the selector's desire rather than abstract, overtakes abstract conceptual art in the dual place, and repeatedly designs a reality image as a semantic entity with the abstractly deficient desire structure desired by the selector as the subject.

The conceptual aesthetics of figures that design the reality of desire are the result of designing a lack of empirical desire to abstract aesthetic experience into objective reality as a value of life, and formative value is obtained from real images by satisfying the lack of necessary objects.

Here, the object of desire is insufficient and follows the other's concept of desire to obtain semantic correlation through empirical consciousness movements.

Therefore, the actual image as a structure of desire has an aesthetic value that conforms to the conventional practice by omitting shadow images from the real world and placing them in the range of light due to the concept of desire, and settles in the structure of the real subject and the essence of reality. By inductively illuminating the concept in the reversible shadow of light, it clearly embodies the linguistic meaning of the image and the real phenomenon. 


Louis Chul-joo Choi, a woman of the Joseon Dynasty reflected in a pond, 112X122cm, acrylic and composite materials on cloth, 2024


A Woman in the Joseon Dynasty Reflected in a Pond

Appropriate plants and fish were artificially cultivated in the ornamental pond. According to modern records, a woman in Joseon records her marriage and birthday with painting, and everyday records capture abstract desires in everyday life-like paintings through novels.

Abstract desire is an image in which the concept of insufficient desire that a woman abstracts as a subject away from the concept of flatness and color art exists as a reality of linguistic meaning.

The vector using the direction of the image desired by reality as the subject is a method of conceptual art that abstracts the concept of desire in the symbolic world. This is to repeatedly reveal the concept of existence image as a subject and desire lacking in the symbolic world as reality at all stages of the symbolic world.


In order to repeatedly reveal the concept of desire as a reality, a vector with the direction of the image desired by the real image as the involuntary subject of desire structures the concept of desire like a picture composed of the vector. In the previous stage of abstracting the concept of desire, the subject of existing desire repeatedly reveals the concept of insufficient desire in which the image of existence is abstracted as reality through conscious movement.

Therefore, abstract desire is not a conceptual art, but a double place with the concept of the selector's desire, overtaking abstract conceptual art in that double place and consciously repeatedly designing reality as a semantic entity for the abstractly deficient desire structure desired by the selector as a subject.


Women in the Joseon Dynasty, like the ornamental pond, used social activities based on the Confucian family system as an exemplary virtue of protecting social order and purity (貞節) by focusing on housework. 

In the late Joseon Dynasty, as the monetary economy developed, the status system changed, the status order collapsed, Seoryul was appointed to the government office, and Cheonmin became a Yangban with a blank appointment letter, Gong Myung-cheop (帖), so Joseon women enjoyed culture freely inside the pavilion (樓亭) building as a pond building. 

In addition, as the subject of desire, the woman constitutes the self by equating the reflection in the pond and the lack of desire with reality in the linguistic meaning of an abstract concept.


During the Joseon Dynasty, ponds were installed as structures to prevent water flow and erosion in the pond to see the pond and its surroundings, such as Jeongja Building (護岸), an open-ended daecheong-maru, and plants matching the lake.

The real image of the pond was designed by instantaneously capturing the real image as a correlation with the concept of desire by determining the current real place that has temporarily stopped in the shade of reversible light. 

In other words, the size of the real image is omitted, and the color and background of the real object matching the custom are designed as the same pond as the image of the subject transferred to the positive film so that the real object has an aesthetic value adjusted to the place as a single image within the range of light.     

The image reflected in the pond is designed as a linguistic image of a woman seen from the perspective of another as an infant, and the same self as the woman is created through consciousness movements.

It's an isolated composition from society as if a woman were on an island in the middle of a pond.

The woman in the pond cannot compare the desires of others by seeing her appearance and memories isolated from society. Therefore, in order to escape the existence of desire in an infant's mirror response, a woman who is separated from sociality describes the concept of desire in reality and explains the concept of desire in reality so that she can recognize the absence of desire as a subject by using the actions of others as a mirror. 

As a reality, the subject makes the concept of unconscious desire exist as a specific object with an abstract structure of linguistic meaning.  

In this way, the reality of a specific object is abstracted by looking at reality as a correlation between the actions of the other reflected in the pond and the lack of desire, and realizing the concept of desire as a subject in order to find an object that a desire that is bound to exist wants



The design of Choi Chul-joo's concept of desire, which has been realized as an abstract, abstracts the actual meaning of the concept of desire by superimposing the news cartoon image published as a news desire image with the background of desire, "Morning glory," "Bamboo Forest," and "Pond."

This is a conscious expression act, and the meaning of the recognition as a subject and the lack of unconscious desire background is a dual desire structure.

In a sense, it is shared with the present in one empty space that is not in contact with the object space, but it satisfies the temporality of the object when it comes into contact with another object in a shared place, 

Therefore, when light comes into contact with multiple objects, existing and past objects form a place of light according to various timeliness in the same place, and unconsciousness and consciousness intersect in the current shared place,

Here, the structure of desire where unconsciousness and consciousness intersect is captured by the instantaneous impression of events and action images, the concept of abstractly illuminating the background of everyday desire is clearly embodied, and the abstract image of desire that illuminates the concept in inductively reversible shades of light results in universal reality.


Memory is the light of time, and as the subject of desire, an image with the ego of desire and the place where the image exists as the subject of desire and desire is set up, and the memory of desire creates a place where the ego of the subject of desire and the real image exist in the present. Writing. Choi Chul-joo, a contemporary art critic (Doctor of Cultural Design)
