소멸의 미학과 표현 연구 - 연구자 작품을 중심으로

Abstract

This study examines the meaning of the researcher's continuous work topic, 'extinction,' and describes how the meaning is practiced in the researcher's work. Extinction has been an essential subject in human art for many years of history. Philosophers each came up with a view on death and one's extinction. Heidegger was interested in the fact that death can always come to anyone at any time and believed that fundamental human "anxiety" arises here. Heidegger thought that when faced with these facts and anxiety, one can transition to the 'original life' of understanding his own. Sympathizing with Heidegger's reasoning, the researcher believes that art can provide humans with the experience of facing extinction in socio-economic situations, where the experience of facing extinction is becoming rare today. For example, Memento mori, Vanitas, Waby-Sabi, and Mono-No-Aware express extinction as an element that makes existence precious, not an object of fear, close to existence, as an immanent form. The last chapter analyzes the meaning of extinction by describing the motivation and working process of creating the researcher's work, Beechtree that Lived in the Jura Mountains - Jura Mountains Drawn with a Pencil, as a direct line of this art. In the researcher's work, extinction plays a role in being close to existence, making existence precious and emphasizing connections with other beings.
