Michael Joo drew inspiration for this work from the spiritual energy he experienced while climbing Samsung Mountain for several days during his visit to Anyang for APAP5. After exploring Anyang's history, the temples scattered throughout the city, and previous APAP artworks, the artist decided to connect Anyang with his own work, 《Intermediary》, which he installed in southern Sweden in 1998. At the center of the Swedish work was an 'antenna' facing east, pointing towards Anyang and the newly installed piece. 《Intermediary (Anyang)》, installed in Anyang, is a hemispherical form carved into the ground, reminiscent of a satellite dish or a sundial. These are also tools humans have used to understand the universe and transmit information. The installation location was carefully chosen, situated between the temple ruins within the park. The central copper pillar of the sculpture acts as a grounded lightning rod, protecting the forest from wildfires. The base is constructed from small, processed granite pieces stacked to form a dish shape. Together with the copper pillar, the entire sculpture forms an anti-monument that implicitly embodies time, place, and encounter. As time passes, the copper pillar will oxidize, the positions of the stones will gradually shift, and grass and insects will grow in the gaps. In this way, the sculpture will eventually become a living ruin.
