'덩어리 되기'의 실현 공간으로서 목욕탕에 관한 표현 연구 : 석사학위 청구전 '탈아탕(脫我湯)' 전시작을 중심으로 = Researching on showing Bathhouse as a Space of ‘Becoming Mass’

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

 An individual belongs to various groups or societies throughout the life and, thereby, acquires different social roles and positions, which are an important factor in understanding people and explaining 'who I am.' However, is this really a healthy way to define one's social identify?
Unlike in society, in bathhouse, others are perceived simply as a mass. Perceiving other people as a 'mass' rather than analyzing them as 'who they are' means existing as a pure self rather than a socially-defined entity and also dismantling the authority system that is inevitably created within any group. Also, it means everyone ultimately becomes equal in a bathhouse. Therefore, bathhouse is a space in which people can get rid of their social identity and exist as a mass of pure selves and everyone becomes equal. The purpose of this study is to understand bathhouse as a symbol.
A bathhouse is divided into the bath and changing room. The changing room is a space in which people become 'de-identified', a medium between the society and bathhouse and an inevitable passage to becoming a mass, while the bath is a space in which people can exist as a pure mass and become equal with others. For that reason, this study is divided into the 'de-identification' series and 'bath' series. The 'de-identification' series used ordinary people as subjects and expressed diverse social identities by using various clothes. Also, different roles played by an individual were expressed based on difference between outerwear and underwear and anonymity, by blurring the face, for instance, was used to express the process of people becoming a pure mass. The 'bath' series focused on anonymity by obscuring the gender, age, and social status of the people and expressed freedom and communication enabled by unclear social structure. As a display method, the entire exhibition space was made into a bathhouse and the changing room and bath were divided so that the viewers can indirectly experience becoming a mass and de-identifying themselves, etc.
