Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of the uncanny that can be expressed in ‘home’, which is a private space and the most familiar and comfortable space, and to find and analyze cases in contemporary art. First, Freud, Biedler, and Heyduck's concept of the uncanny were examined in the study. Second, the study investigated how the uncanny is revealed in the house, which should be perceived as the most private and comfortable place. Third, the works of Jung-Ju Jeong, Hee-Sun Kim, Rachel Whiteread, and Do-Ho Seo were analyzed by applying the concept of uncanny, which was reviewed. Through this study, along with the transition to modern society, frequent spatial movement, collective housing, and redevelopment are intertwined so that one feels fear from an unfamiliar experience even in a familiar space while changing into a different image from the memory of the space they had. The sense of loss caused by these is acting as the uncanny in private space, and my opinion is that the uncanny in private space is likely to expand in various forms in the future.
