By Kim Jae-heun
The work of artist Tina Kim is the subject of the modern photography exhibition “New Moment of Relation” at the Youngeun Museum in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do Province until Nov. 8.
Kim captures modern scenes of Seoul she photographed this year and recreates the exhibition space by expanding and constricting the images as well as modifying the colors. The photographs contain creative stories about space and time relating to ordinary people.
The artist symbolizes many aspects of modern Seoul by using the techniques of continuous segmentation, balancing and repeating of shapes. With these techniques, the artist gives a modern tone to her photographs
Kim tries to deliver her ideas of the relationships between people and people; people and things; people and space; and how their behavior affects spaces where diverse interactions occur. She hopes the special moments of the interactions she photographed can give depth and value to the lives of the viewers.
“The imaginations in New Moment of Relation are best reflected in digital photographs,” wrote Kim in her exhibit note.
Kim is a printmaker, photographer and lecturer at Kyung Hee University, Sungshin Women’s University and Anyang University.
The exhibition is open from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Call 031-761-0137 for more information.
