Tom´s good friend, Hyun-jeong, who works for goethe-institut seoul, invited us to visit: rooms, an extraordinary exhibition by Lina Kim at columns gallery.
when i first saw her photos i felt somehow shocked...out of breath.
surrounding us were pictures of a series of empty rooms, all of them had a window through which one could see a natural landscape.
the photographic interiors were realized throughout different seasons over the course of three years, between 2003 und 2006.
i think her eyes can capture something different, something concealed behind the scenes, a feeling of absence, of vanished human activity; a place where nature seems to be glimpsing at us from the outside, leaving one with the impression of being imprisoned in a dilapidated building, cut out from our own perceptions, in a stillshot of time where nature steps back, observing how we consume ourselves and vanish in decay.
the brazilian born Lina Kim (1965) also has Korean origins. she now lives between Berlin and New York.
