〈Prologue Poem Project〉, Oh Jaewoo

Each of the meanings of the title of the book comes into the lines of the poem and acts as an element of the context of the poem. In this process, the original title of the book loses its qualification. The symbolism of the book that the title of the book had was erased and remained only as a line of poetry. The arrangement of book titles is perceived by the audience as different meanings beyond the meanings that the books originally intended to convey.
