Remember Nature 2025 Youngsook Choi, Book of Loss

Book of Loss takes the form of a 'search party for missing bodies'. In small groups, participants look for illustrations of lost glaciers, secretly drawn on the windows and walls of a gallery, using UV torches. Whenever someone discovers a hidden glacier, a bell is rung for convening the participants. The artist then reads a passage about that glacier from the ‘Book of Loss’, prompting a discussion on the impact of its loss. The performance takes place at Tate Modern inside the Gathering Ground exhibition. Its setting is a room with a large window overlooking the Thames and the City, two entities entwined in the realities of climate change.
