Space One wraps up the year with an intern show and event by Heereen Shim. Shim has worked with Space One since the beginning of 2015, photo archiving and assisting in graphic design amongst many things. She is currently in her last year of undergraduate studies in Engineering with a minor in photography at Chung-Ang University.

Shim’s work ‘I’m called "     " is an interactive installation and performance piece based on her experience in passive and one-dimensional relationships. 

‘I meet new people. They label me. My label represents me and defines my identity. This label presents one side of who I am. The passive act of being labeled fragments my identity. Subjectivity is lost. Being labeled is unavoidable. The only subjective thing I can do is, label others. The question lingers; can my subjectivity be recovered by destroying others?’

Shim labels the audiences with a name tag and in return the audiences label Shim with their whispers into Shim's installation. Through this, all subjectivities are lost.
