Description of art	“Resurrection 1” (1979) is a work in which thread is coiled around a light bulb, a spoon, and coal briquette tongs to link and transformed them into an object, which is then attached onto the canvas. This work both forebodes Shin’s idiosyncratic collage works and implicitly demonstrates a sense of interconnectedness. This process of tying together objects with thread had started since around AG days when he actively experimented with diverse aspects of modern art. Shin’s object works are frequently compared with those of Dadaists and surrealists who induced intentional abnormality by erasing the original functions of the objects and changing their forms, placement, and materials, relying on their visual similarities. Shin, however, is unique in that he materializes the objects through the process of coiling thread around the objects, feeling the qi which means energy force that did not exist in their original state. As such, the repetitive act of meticulous “coiling” is a process of searching for the original form of the objects and creating beauty itself, which illustrates Shin’s professional attitude of imbuing special meaning to the process of combining performative acts and the objects themselves
