Mioon reveals in their reading of today’s cultural landscape the fictionality and ideological mechanism that pervade underneath the surface. In Habitual Passion, Mioon interprets New York City’s Yankee Stadium as a disguise mechanism of modern society. In the presentation of the stadium’s miniature model, the artists empty out the stadium – sporting games that follow highly standardized rules and a large crowd who enjoys the entertainment are nowhere to be found – thereby seeking to read, in a complete silence, the structure and concept of today’s public space. Just like sports games that run smoothly according to the game’s rule, the society, seen from mioon’s perspective, operates under a series of tacit rules.
In the middle of the empty stadium, an image of police car is projected; the car stands still, quietly suggesting the systematic then seems to reveal; where the arbitrary line between “what is permitted” and “what is not” has been fixed, we seem to follow the rules in a highly orderly matter.
