His Work
- His later and most notable series of works have been exhibited as full color, large scale prints: The Museum Project, which depicts people "preserved" within Plexiglas cases placed in various settings, and ON-AIR, which uses long exposures and image compositing to make individual people and objects dissolve. Kim's work has been heavily influenced by Zen Buddhist concepts of interconnectedness and transience, and he commonly uses Buddhist iconography.
Im mostly interested in this work because of the shifty lighting thats created by long exposures. With this, his work questions the relationship between time and place which I think is pretty interesting.
