Mannequins, vacuum cleaners, sex toys, body brushes, training machines - John Gyumhyon who has relentlessly collected various products surrounding contemporary daily life and has constantly considered the relationship between them and his / her body. As a choreographer, performance artist based in Korea, the place of activity spread internationally, and the solo exhibition held in Tate Modern (UK) in 2017 is also remembered to the memory. Tilting on his collection While John's desire and sensuality is sometimes escalated, at the same time, he asks coolly the relationship between human beings at current age.

It is the actual size male doll that co-star with John at "rehab training". It was created to learn how to care for patients at medical education sites. John, who faces "him", pilots himself as if he can not move himself, with a hands-on approach to rehabilitate, and attempts to do a variety of tasks. While the gestures are being piled up, the relationship between the doll and puppeteer eventually shows a strange appearance beyond intimacy. Which is "who do it" and which is "who will be". An inorganic object begins to take on its own life, and the boundary between the subject and the object is no longer clear. Well, how should we name "Kankei" of "her" and "him"?
