Kahee Jeong Decimate: Decay No.2, 2026 Oil on canvas
30 x 30 cm
11 7/8 x 11 7/8 inches

The two-panel painting reinterprets Bagi’s physical death in Decimate through the visual logic of the kusōzu (九相 ), functioning both as the prologue to the exhibition and as a device that foreshadows the narrative to come.

Beyond the wall, the sequence concludes with a painting of Bagi at the final stage of decomposition, confronting the viewer upon leaving the exhibition with the irreversible disappearance of the body. Here, the dead body is not presented solely as an act of violence. Rather, it functions as a symbolic image that reveals how easily the fantasy of digital immortality can erase and replace the body.
