Redbase is proud to present Territory of Both Disorientation and Relocation, a solo exhibition by Sunyoung Park. This exhibition traces the enduring presence of Creole architecture—not merely as a residue of colonial hybridity, but as a material witness to disorientation, displacement, and belonging. Centered on the humble redbrick fragment, each work reveals a palimpsest of migration, history, and memory. Often overlooked in their everydayness, red bricks become vessels of both rupture and reformation—evidence of lives folded, layered, and reframed across time and territory. Park’s connection to redbrick emerged through years of traveling and working across various regions in Asia. In unfamiliar and fragmented places, redbrick appeared repeatedly—marking neighborhoods, ruins, and vernacular spaces shaped by colonial legacies and local cultural translations. For Park, these encounters became moments of recognition, anchoring her amid experiences of disorientation and detachment. Here, photography is not a medium of representation, but a tactile process of transformation. By folding, cracking, and layering photographic prints into sculptural configurations, Park brings memory-images and material into tension. Her photosculptures evoke how place is felt—through texture, weight, and temporal-spatial dissonance. The redbrick becomes more than a historical remnant; it is Creole in nature: hybrid, uncertain, and transformative. Through the interplay of surface, texture, and form, viewers are invited to confront their own sense of place—and to reflect on how displacement, inheritance, and memory continue to shape the architecture of who we are. Rather than offering answers, the exhibition opens a space to refigure our surroundings as dynamic cultural terrains—fluid, negotiated, and alive.
We pay our respects to the Gundungurra people who are the traditional custodians of the land. We acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging for their immense spiritual connection to place which was never ceded.
