Lee Jaehoon: Nietzsche quoted, "The irrationality of a thing is no argument against its existence, rather a condition of it." In other words, the irrationality is a condition of the rationality, because the relative value of them satisfies mutual existence. Thus, the existence of irrationality is a criterion of a rationality valuation. Like this, Un-monument is a paradoxical symbol to judge a value of monument's irrationality. This work is not trying to show the monument's irrational role or value through the symbolism. Its purpose is to raise a question of 3 things: monumentalized socially accepted norms inside our consciousness-representation of unconditional belief and absolutes, a gap between social rationality (ideal value) and irrationality (reality), and the righteousness of these socially accepted norms being as men's valuation standards.
