Book excerpt: The book is about seeking the meaning of living in a place where only a few people acknowledge my existence. Further, the author explores how interesting phenomena it is that people (willingly or forced) come and go from one place to another and experience opacity and non-placement of their language, body, and agency. The book is written in Korean and English language."Going to the cafe next to my house everyday for three months, which is too ordinary, was the foundational performance for the production of this book. I tried to practice and experience an autonomous agency of this work of art. Cafe space, staffs, customers, cups of coffee and baked goods I ate, and every possible thing that exists in the cafe holds distinctive agencies as participants of the work." (quote from the preface)
