Description
Book Introduction
The joyful imagination that art attracts
About the 'Artistic Moment' that Refreshes Everyday Life
Park Bona's new prose work, "The Moment Art Becomes Mine"
Park Bona is an artist who primarily works in media and formats such as video, sound, installation, and performance.
He won the love of readers by introducing modern art with his unique witty perspective and writing style through two collections of artistic essays, “When Attitude Becomes a Work of Art” and “If You Call Even the Nameless One.”
In her new work, "The Moment Art Becomes Mine," Park Bona freely crosses and sometimes blurs the boundaries between everyday life and art, unraveling the tangle of senses and thoughts she captures.
We discover the efforts and sincerity of creators who seek to elevate moments of artistic inspiration from everyday life and not alienate life through art.
“I try to have a ‘creative week’ by opening my senses wide to be inspired by even the smallest things.
In this way, he collects the materials and themes of his work like pebbles, puts them carefully in his pocket, and keeps touching them, quietly waiting for the artistic moment when he can bring out those pebbles and turn them into a work of art.
“The Moment Art Becomes Mine” is a book that contains my thoughts and feelings gathered in that way.
“I tried to capture the moment when art becomes mine by constantly intersecting my rough life with art.” - Page 7 of the text
Since starting her life as an artist, Park Bo-na has been asking herself a question that has become a habit.
The question is, 'What kind of creative week did you have?'
This question is something I have consistently asked myself, both while going about my daily life and while working to make a living while creating, to keep me contemplating my identity as an artist and to not let go of thoughts about my future work.
Park Bo-na writes this book based on this question, sharing her personal experience and experience of what it means to creatively view and think about everyday events.
I would like to share a moment when I was able to take a step closer to art and, in the end, vaguely feel certain that art had become 'mine' in the joyful imagination that it draws me to.

Publisher's Review
Art from the perspective of life and creation
The process of sensing and thinking in an unfamiliar way
“Art always gives me a place to belong.”
In 『The Moment Art Becomes Mine』, Park Bona retrace the history of the scars on her body and bring up the video work of Lisa Steele, who filmed a birthday celebration video while showing close-ups of her scars (p. 11). She recalls the work of Miel Laderman Ukelis, who performed a cleaning performance in front of an art museum after worrying about not having enough space for an extra desk in his new house (p. 21). She reflects on the experimental choices made by Marcel Duchamp after bickering with his nephew on a sea trip. (p. 108) The artist transforms these completely non-artistic moments into artistic moments, showing the process of perceiving and thinking about everyday life in an unfamiliar way.
In addition, he introduces artists who inspire him and stimulate his imagination, such as Yang Hye-gyu, Hong I-hyeon-suk, Kwon Yong-ju, Kim A-young, Kim Kyung-mook, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Walter de Maria, and Joseph Beuys, and shows his attempts to find 'my place in art' as a creator and as a viewer who purely enjoys the work.
In this book, author Park Bo-na also tells stories about some of her own works.
The performance “The Box in a Bag (La Boite-en-Sac Plastique)” (p. 88), which was first introduced in 2010 and has been presented twice more, and the story of the exhibition “Black Holes Have No Hair” held in 2019 (p. 118) will be very welcome to readers who have been curious about the artistic world of artist Park Bona, who has been working with interest in art, labor, history, and personal narratives.
Park Bona reflects on her own daily life and art, while captivatingly connecting and interpreting the remarkable work of contemporary artists and aspects of the world today.
The author's constant effort to look at events and objects from a detached perspective expands us beyond the confines of "self" and allows us to experience and contemplate connections with various others.
