- Description
- Echoed from the woods on the Nam June Paik Art Center's back hill, this Scottish song of lamentation dated in the 16th century was arranged into a capella and sung by Philipsz. The great Irish writer, James Joyce used this song in his Finnegans Wake to describe a female character with "wildwood's eyes and primarose hair". According to a record, she is Joyce's daughter, a dancer living in Paris away from her family. The woods in Western culture are a symbol of space into which your loved ones disappear. Visitors will experience the visuality of the dense woods overlapped with the layered sound of a capella.
