“Dear Empty,” Poster ©d/pDear Empty, , a solo exhibition by Kyulim Kim (b. 1993), will be on view at d/p from August 15 to September 16.
Through video, Kim has been focusing on the process of movement, especially the movement of cities and distribution. This exhibition asks about the things that are lost or left behind in the process of movement and refers to the place they occupy as “empty space”. This empty space, which Kim’s work captures and creates, is a new space where we can escape from our conventional senses and thoughts.
In < Dear Snow > (2023), the artist chases the movement of the snow gauge and tries to capture the camera’s gaze when the subject is not present. Another work, < Memory and Matter 2 > (2023), overlaps the process of moving a grave with the process of data recovery, addressing the issue of memories that move from place to place but remain.
Kyulim Kim deals with themes of place, image, and memory, pursuing what remains despite the movement of matter, or what is lost in the process.
