Developed as a master’s project at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Sun Möller-Park’s second phase of Ready, Set, Fuse takes the geometric vocabulary of Korean dancheong decoration and pushes it into deliberate disorder. Printed in Risograph, the series tests what happens when a strict grid gives way.
Sun Möller-Park’s starting point was the dancheong tradition: the system of decorative painting applied to Korean wooden architecture, characterised by highly structured geometric ornament and a formal colour language developed over centuries. Within that tradition, the geummun pattern: interlocking diamond and geometric shapes that tile with mathematical precision, became the framework for the first phase of Ready, Set, Fuse. The second phase keeps the same vocabulary and breaks the rules it established.
“Ready, Set, Fuse – Pt. 2 is the second phase of my master’s project,” Möller-Park explains. “While the first phase focused on simplifying Korean dancheong patterns — specifically geummun geometric shapes — into a grid-based Riso printing framework using repetition, mirroring and interlocking, this second phase introduces disorder and chance into that system.”
The shift from order to controlled disruption is the conceptual core of the series. The grid that made the first phase coherent becomes, in the second, something to destabilise: the same forms, the same logic of repetition and interlocking, now subjected to interventions that introduce misregistration, overlap and the particular unpredictability of Risograph printing as a collaborative material process.
Risograph suits that process well. The printer’s slight mechanical inconsistencies and the way its ink layers interact across the spot colours Möller-Park works with mean that chance is already built into the medium. The project directs that tendency rather than suppressing it.
The work was developed at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar under the supervision of Professor Markus Weisbeck and Julia Albrecht. “I was drawn to geummun patterns because of their strong geometric structure and the way they balance individual units into a larger whole,” Möller-Park says. “Translating that into Riso meant thinking carefully about how layers of colour interact — where they reinforce each other, and where they start to break down.”
The prints are the work of Möller-Park with assistance from Boramee Kim.
