Tiré du site Internet de Revolver: "This book combines the character of an artist's book and a monographic publication. Folded and bound posters are based on eight of the artist's photographs. The two motifs on each double-sided poster correspond to each other and form a playful string of cut images within the book. "In her videos, photographs and installations Sunah Choi shows both how the eye thoroughly changes the world's appearance and also how things and people in that silent inner sphere never reveal more of themselves than their surfaces. In other words, her work firstly describes the contradiction innate in assuming that the camera's eye defines the innermost being of the world and yet remains external to it. Secondly, she not only describes this contradiction, she actively works with it. One could say that in her work Choi accentuates the paradox of simultaneous interiority and externality in the relationship of the camera to the world, and in the process, devises her own language from this accentuated paradoxical formulation. It is a language that talks about the ambivalent relationship of the world to the camera, and yet in the process outlines this relationship in a special way, creating each time differently and in her own way." (Jan Verwoert)."
