Four women, who have lived for more than three decades within the confines of patriarchy and compulsory heterosexuality, gradually become entangled as they arrive at gender-queer and lesbian identities through different paths in life. Their testimonies and personal records, revealed through extended conversations and interviews, intersect with Adrienne Rich’s concepts of “lesbian existence” and the “lesbian continuum,” queer Korean history, letters, critical writings, and other diverse texts. The artist reconstructs these materials through acts of copying by hand, erasing, tearing, and repeated editing, creating an open narrative in which different times and voices intersect rather than binding personal memories into a single, complete story. Together with a professional performer, the participants transform emotions and memories that cannot be fully articulated through words or writing into movements of “swimming,” performing a language of the body in a public square. In this process, their bodies intertwine and question one another, moving toward what lies beyond language.
