No matter who hunts
One for the whole, the whole for one,
Pants that we brought, pants that we made
by with them, we hope they are same.
Lasted for six months,
the grateful residence we are closing.
Welcoming us, sharing work place and time,
dear ccuull people, thank you.
- George Pearl Buck
George Pearl Buck, a project team by Yoon Hamin and Kim Jeongin, has proceeded “One for the whole, the whole for one"(working title: No matter who hunts) at Ccuull Pool in Itaewon for six months from last winter in 2010. “One for…” is a repeated works project to cut completed clothes(working clothes) following sewing lines, collect its patterns, and re-complete clothes of new fabric using patterns shaped from the old one.
George Pearl Buck started the project with a question “How the labor as “work” can be shown referring outcomes of the works”. During the project period, they wrote “Skills cumulated as much as clothes piled up” on the wall in their room at Ccuull Pool, with two sewing machines, collected clothes patterns from various places, and different fabrics.
Their collected clothes and re-produced clothes implicate a circulating structure that used and copied like ‘hunting’. A flow of anonymousness of those clothes and uselessness of their unperceived and continuous works propose the phase of converting value of ‘work’ which realizes production and distribution. Their practice, their mind, hoping the pants they brought and other pants they made are same, is the work that gathered many of one make the whole and the whole exist for many of one.
