Nam June Paik wrote a Chinese phrase, 一色一筆, to write in one stroke of a brush in one color. As if actualizing this, a single red line is dashed off above. This is suggestive of Paik’s drawing a line with his entire body, in such performances as Zen for Head and Zen for Walking. The tip of the red line is slightly rolled up in a spiral form, which is the typical way for Paik to represent the act of rewinding a video tape or a watch. He often made a comparison between a video tape that can be rewound, and time in our life that is irreversible.
