Baek Joseph's works are introduced in "SIGN of the Times," featuring the keyword "overlapping time." Baek portrays a time in which traces are erased, and things overlap again, evoking old and new memories. His approach to time-memory-image is reflected in the repetitive application of paint to create layers and scraping off several times to make them disappear. Baek's work raises questions about the significance of this process.
