<Blue Burn> is an audio drama installation consisting of 14 sound channels, 10 light channels, 3 video channels and a radio play. The work reconstructs situational aspects of an anaesthesia and pain treatment room in a clinic and is combined with impressions of plants, a hiking trail and the night sky. In this scenery of external pain, internal chaos and contradictory phenomena, the inner world of the radio play's protagonist (voice: Hyunju Oh) is audibly articulated and enters into dialogue with the everyday objects placed in the installation as a counter-world, some of which also sound as such.

<Blue Burn> ist eine Audio-Drama-Installation, die aus 14 Tonkanälen, 10 Lichtkanälen, 3 Videokanälen und einem Hörspiel besteht und den "Wert des Schmerzes" thematisiert. Die Arbeit rekonstruiert situative Aspekte eines Anästhesie- und Schmerzbehandlungsraumes in einer Klinik und ist kombiniert mit Eindrücken von Pflanzen, einem Wanderweg und dem Nachthimmel. In dieser Szenerie von äußerem Schmerz, innerem Chaos und widersprüchlichen Phänomenen artikuliert sich hörbar die Innenwelt der Hörspiel-Protagonistin (Stimme: Hyunju Oh) und führt Dialoge mit den als Gegenwelt in der Installation platzierten Alltagsgegenständen, die teilweise auch als solche erklingen.

<Blue Burn>은 '고통의 가치'를 주제로 한 14채널 오디오, 10채널 조명, 3채널 영상, 라디오 연극으로 구성된 오디오 드라마 설치 작품이다. 이 작품은 병원 내 마취 및 통증 치료실의 상황을 재구성하고 식물, 등산로, 밤하늘의 인상을 결합한 작품이다. 표면적 고통과 내면적 혼돈 그리고 모순적인 현상의 풍경 속에 이 라디오 연극의 주인공(목소리: 오현주)의 내면세계가 청각적으로 표현된다. 부분적으로 소리를 생성시키기도 하는 이 일상 오브제들은 대립 세계이기도 한 설치 내부에 배치되어 주인공과 대화를 나눈다.

Blue Burn, immersive audio drama installation (2022)

"I'm here because I am sick, but why do I have to hurt more!"

"Mom, Mom, Mom"

An excerpt from <Blue Burn>, 2022

"Would you like to touch the leaves?

Is it warm?

Is the living plant warm?"

"The sky without sun or moon.

It's dark but it is the quietest time."

"It was foggy one day.

I couldn't see it because it was so dark,

but when I looked up at the sky, blue stars were shining."

"It was a blue burn." "It was a good rain."
