From antiquity onward, the ‘good life’ was imagined as a life with purpose. In the Greek eudaimonic tradition, the value is in telos; the worth of life is judged through fulfilment.
This premise that life must justify itself through striving persisted, only transformed. In the consumer society Baudrillard describes, the purpose is displaced in consumption: we consume experiences as if they were ends in themselves. For Byung-Chul Han, the imperative turns inward: infinite self-optimisation through positivity and achievement, fractured into infinite microtasks.
Yun Heo\u2019s sculptural installations sit inside this tension. Working with the everyday debris of survival, they lie not solutions but symptoms themselves.
Her works do not diagnose or prescribe. Instead, they witness. They register humour, exhaustion, and tenderness in equal measure: a nod to the absurd ways we improvise continuity when purpose collapses, when insufficiency becomes the condition of being alive. In these fragile assemblages, one sees not a life fulfilled, but a life taped and glued together. They suggest that incompleteness is not failure but a shared condition. Perhaps insufficiency is not an error but the shape of being alive. Perhaps the exhausted life, precisely in its refusal to justify itself, carries its own orientation \u2014 not toward achievement but toward continuing, not wealth but texture, not answers but presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do I live? I cannot face the cursor winking after that sentence. I close the laptop. Then open it again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why do I live. I live because I was born. Because I haven\u2019t died yet. But what do I live for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the film How Do You Live?<\/em>[1] came out, the internet twisted the title into memes: How long will you keep living like that? Why do you live like this? What are you going to do with your life? Why were you even born? I lay in bed sick, snorting with laughter at the absurd fragments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That year, sickness pinned me to bed for most of it. Pain crashed over me like waves, sweeping parts of me away. Pain or not, shouldn\u2019t I get up and do something? I\u2019d occasionally get up, down coffee, stuff myself with painkillers, scrape my body into some task, then collapse again. Drowning in my own breath. If I couldn\u2019t produce, then consume. Even memes, snorting with laughter. How do I live?<\/p>\n\n\n\n People assume life has a purpose. A self-directed life of goals and accomplishments looks smooth and beautiful, like wood impeccably joined. Is anything lost in the joinery? Is there room for it to breathe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The eudaimonic tradition: the good life has purpose, lived in pursuit of it. Only at the end, if the purpose is fulfilled, is a life judged worthwhile. But what if you never reach the end? I won\u2019t shed this illness. Does that make me nothing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n So what if I\u2019ve become nothing? Defiance rises, but I am worn down by the chorus. \u2018Stay strong!\u2019 \u2018You can do it!\u2019 \u2018Don\u2019t let the illness change you!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n The demand to be positive, to look ahead, to live forward leaves me hollow. Since when is positivity this violent? Painkillers, focus pills, coffee like water \u2014 all of it just to keep checking boxes to no end. Is this living? How do I live? I collapse again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lying there, I remember a video: a woman on stage talking about her sister. How hard she worked for the future\u2014saving coffee money, sacrificing sleep, living only for what came next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then she died suddenly in a car accident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Her sister\u2019s life wasn\u2019t wrong. A life toward a goal is admirable. But should negating the present for the future count as virtue? Is life valuable only in striving? Who declares the incomplete insufficient? What if insufficiency is simply the shape of being alive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cheerfulness of \u2018you can do anything if you try\u2019 clings to me like dirty grease I can\u2019t scrub off. It feels like shouting encouragement at someone on their last breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why do I live? Because I was born. Because I haven\u2019t died yet. I am someone who has become nothing, who has lived a messy and painful life. That gives me questions I wouldn\u2019t have otherwise. Some days, I still grind myself down. Other days, I can lie on my back, eating tangerines, unbothered. Then it starts again: shouldn\u2019t I be doing something?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trudging through self-flaying, through the need for control, I see others too lead lives taped and glued. All I can give is a nod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why do I live? I don\u2019t know. Who cares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n [1] Miyazaki’s 2023 film, titled after Yoshino’s 1937 novel.
