Sangheon Kim

Kim is currently working on a “picture diary” project that captures what the painter has experienced in person under the theme of “Covid-19.”

As the previous daily life is rapidly dismantled, Kim makes a subjective archive with his daily images.

Kim’s works recount memories of everyday encounters such as sceneries, movies, and books. With ordinary scenes and popular images as his source, the artist constructs a subjective archive.

His works shows how contemporary film and literature with distinct characteristics are reduced down to uniform colors when processed through a consumer.
