Artist Ji-young Kim has been working on metal crafts under the theme of Back of the Moon for the past few years. A reversal of things you take for granted. Or, they explore the behind the various moons, such as invisible endeavors and secrets. This year we are looking for line to line, within the line. Small pieces that move in the work cannot be noticed at once. The repetitive metalwork process of making and attaching numerous pieces of the same shape by special soldering for objects that look like a single line.
Artist list
Ji Young Kim
It is a tug of war against time, just like every day of life. Small pieces that are revealed while touching the work. It expands and expands like the feeling of looking at the other side of life. Like unexpected moments in life, like the meaning of the lines that existed even though they were not spoken.
I have been creating metal objects with small moving elements for the past few years. In this year’s work “Between Lines,” lines become facets, and the facets sometimes become lines and hide behind them. The work looks like a single line, but there are small moving pieces arranged in it. I had a repetitive metalwork process where countless square pieces are cut and re-soldered; however, these changes are not easily noticeable, allowing the hidden pieces to be revealed and then hidden again. A small touch is enough to reveal the hidden side of a line, as in our everyday lives. Then the object begins to communicate with people.
