Caring Exercise consists of a participatory performance staged as part of an interactive art research and development program by the Asia Culture Center, as well as a video work based on it. It was created as a continuation of the “labor of caregiving” perspective presented by Youngjoo Cho between 2021 and 2023. In Caring Exercise, the spongy white structure of Humangarten is used as a tool for movement by performers and participants. As in Cohabitating with Yellow Benjamin, with its use of massage as a metaphor for different forms of caregiving (childcare, household labor, patient care, etc.), Caring Exercise starts from the bonds that exist in all of us as people who give and receive care. It is a two-person activity based on rehabilitation therapy movements, developed by a research team consisting of an artist, a psychotherapist, a physical therapist, an activist, and a dancer. The video incorporates the physical experiences of various performers (including children, adolescents, young adults, disabled persons, and senior citizens) as they help and support one another in partnerships where they compensate for each other’s physical weaknesses. The video’s production was preceded by a Caring Exercise workshop, which involved research into the movements of mutual care with 50 Gwangju resident participants, based on the theme of “caring, communicating, and forming relationships.” Cho’s perspective on caregiving as observed in Caring Exercise is also something she plans to experiment with further in subsequent works.
