Further, Higher, Faster_A boring accelerating city pernah dipentaskan pada 2017, kemudian diperbarui dan diperkenalkan kembali pada 2023. Pertunjukan ini menampilkan pola gerakan kinetik tubuh yang sering digunakan dalam aktivitas olahraga seperti membengkokkan dan memuntir. Karya ini juga menampilkan slogan dalam olahraga yaitu “lebih jauh, lebih tinggi, lebih cepat” yang diwujudkan dalam narasi tentang jarak, kedalaman, dan kecepatan dengan menggunakan sistem koordinat tiga dimensi—sebuah peta ruang yang ditandai oleh sumbu x, y, dan z.

Further, Higher, Faster_A boring accelerating city versi terbaru (2023) ini dikerjakan oleh Hyeongjun Cho dan Minsun Son, koreografer dan arsitek, mereka menciptakan karya berdasarkan ketertarikan terhadap ruang. Mereka bereksperimen dengan ruang, koreografi, dan fenomena yang muncul ketika tubuh atau objek disusun dalam konteks spasial tertentu. Mereka berusaha mengonstruksi pengaturan atau sistem terorganisir yang beroperasi berdasarkan struktur waktu.

Further, Higher, Faster_A boring accelerating city (2017) is a work in which the body’s kinetic movements bend, twist, or ripple the sense of space. This work translates the maxim of track and field—further, higher, and faster—into narratives of distance, depth, and velocity using a three-dimensional coordinate system—a spatial chart marked by x, y, and z axes. Premiered in 2017, Further, Higher, Faster_A boring accelerating city is renewed and reintroduced six years later, in 2023, as Further, Higher, Faster_A boring accelerating city. The motions of running on a rectangular track in Seoul are twisted and converged into the square confines of the Jakarta Salihara Theater. The many boundaries and phenomena emerging from the displacement, expansion, distortion, and disruption of the motions may have initially channeled track and field—or the performance of track and field (as demonstrated in the earlier iteration of the work). Nevertheless, they continue to grow and accelerate, albeit “boringly,” in today’s urban space and time.

Further, Higher, Faster_A boring accelerating city, 2023
Hyeongjun Cho and Minsun Son, primarily a choreographer and an architect, create work based on their interest in space. They experiment with the space, choreography, and phenomena that emerge when bodies or objects are arranged in particular spatial contexts. Based on this, they strive to construct organized settings or systems that operate based on the structure of time.
