The Song of the Earth is the video archives based installation that presents various views of the earth that the artist has captured by exploring different parts of the world. Each channel shows the trajectory of the artist’s endeavor to find a shooting method suitable for the context and situation of the places since Mohang in 2008. At the time, the artist emphasized the tragic destruction of the ecosystem by attaching cameras to the port and starboard of the bow to show the fish’s point of view. At the time, the artist emphasized the tragic destruction of the ecosystem by attaching cameras to the port and starboard of the bow to show the fish’s point of view, filming the sea route to Uihang from Mohang in Taean-gun, an area affected by the oil spill in South Korea.

In 2011, the artist heard about air pollution caused by a chemical factory fire in the Netherlands and visited the site. There she found brussels sprouts abandoned in a field and captured them by rolling a camera made of ball-shaped modules. Additionally, she attempts experimental filming methods such as hanging a camera on a chest or attaching it toshoes and backpacks to realize the appropriate viewpoints for each location, as seen in the case of attaching a camera to the end of a pole to capture mango trees in Tanzania in2012. 

Throughout the process, the artist experiences the place through her body and communes with sadness and hardship inscribed on the land. The two-channel video of walking between low piles of stones amid the faint sound of pinwheels was taken in 2010 by visiting the Osore Mountain in Japan, which is said to be a spiritual place where children who died before their parents during World War II are buried. The artist personally captured the scenery by walking with cameras attached to both shoes to remember and console the deceased buried in a desolate mountain. It is to experience the land where human history is born or only traces of pain remain in the same manner as a pilgrim. 

Each of the places and forms of nature sanghee song passed through, such as the sky, the sea, the road, and the floor of a building, at first glance, seems like an ordinary landscape, but keeps a long history of human geopolitical events, and scars. The location of the video includes a ghost town (Chernobyl and Pripyat, Ukraine) covered with trees and bushes after the radioactive dust swept through 30 years ago, making everybody leave the town; the sea (Taean-gun, South Korea) turned black due to an oil spill; a sacred mountain (Mt. Osore, Japan), where the souls of the dead who died in the war inhabit; the cemetery of the victims of World War I (Verdun, France); the territory that served as a base for the transatlantic slave trade from the early 16th to the late 19th century (Bagamoyo, Tanzania; the Canary Islands). The Song of the Earth reveals all various faces of the earth. As though walking through the landscapes of the earth like a visual requiem, the audience will hear the song of the earth.
