Team Depot
Team Depot imagines stories take place in artworks stored in the Depot.
The Team Depot has an office in Love Your Depot, and we research and interpret artworks in our storage and artists to produce content for a creative archive.
Every team member shares and discusses throughout working processes, and we work together, releasing content online and offline.
All members are voluntary and have their production channels.

The sequence of images runs in reverse order, from the state of the current exhibition hall (the Depot) to the state of the white cube where nothing built-in.

Clinging acts (Performance), 2019 (Performers: Jiho Park, Choong-geun Yoon, Donghyun Lee)

The leading performer raises the paper high, which contains the text about the process of logistics. The others, while following the shaky printed paper, read aloud some sentences they catch.
It implies that the artworks piled up in the Depot arrived at the exhibition hall in the museum, by going through the complex procedures.

What I saw in the exhibition hall: Scenes, Works and Performances (Writing), 2019-2020
Hanbyol writes about the paintings, sculptures, performances, and the scenes she saw in the exhibition hall.
She is exploring possible ways to describe the images that are often hard to put in words.For example, to explain an abstract painting, she schematizes the parts of the work.
In other cases, to deliver the impression she got from works, she writes poems or short novels.
To perform with the written texts, Hanbyol claps or uses the wood bar to make recurrent sounds while reading, and by doing so she tries to make the recite resemble a play.
