Moving Drawing (2005)

Jheon Soocheon's Moving Drawing is a site-specific installation and participatory public art project that traveled across the United States for seven nights and eight days, using 15 trains covered in white cloth. Jeon's work is based on the core elements of painting: point, line, and plane. The meeting of the railway (line) and the white cloth covering the trains (plane) reflects the train's trajectory and its communication with the surrounding area, evoking an organic network, integration, and harmony of cultures.
