AB - This paper discusses the (un)representability of art as an inevitable revelation of concrete reality in order to rethink history as the process of becoming and affect. For that purpose, this paper explores art’s affective potentiality and the specificity of its unrepresentability with reference to the ideas of Spinoza’s affect and affections, along with Deleuze’s interpretation and articulation of these concepts. Furthermore this paper discusses Im Heung-soon’s work as an example of art that contributes to historical affections through the restoration and reunion of relationships. Im’s community art projects capture the expressions of local Korean life that restore themselves again even after being ruined in the process of concentration in the metropolitan area and the extinction of provinces. In Sung Si (2011) and Jeju Prayer (2012-2013), Im expresses historical life as the entities of silence, death, and nature. From the perspective of affect, silence and death become an expression of shouting and life as a reversal of it. While the work may echo with the consequences of death, sacrifice, and violence in history, the sounds create a new encounter and inclusion. This constant becoming can be said to operate with the power of the affirmation of reality.
