Indifferent differences: Nam Kim's Visual Statement as Emancipation

An ominous whisper fills the physical distance between Kim's paintings and us in a calm but rebellious disposition. In response to this whisper, we get captivated by the vibrant primary colours at first glance. The distance between us and her paintings is being steadily tighten up with this synaesthetic encounter - and suddenly a direct gaze from the eyes of human being penetrates us, strangers in this exhibition space, to investigate which relationship is to be anticipated between the crowd on Kim's painting and us. Whether it remains temporary or develops into a profound one, the first moment has unconsciously already ended, undeniably leaving the transcendent pause of our breath, eyes, shoulders and legs stepping into another room.
