Art Beats Festival

Jaeik Kim

This artist focuses on restoring lost or damaged memories through the imagination and expression of visible/invisible phenomena entangled behind various places.

“This work talks about the process of loss from a crevice of memory revived in a disordered(迷眩) space.”

He expresses the layers of memories that became extinct after being generated by events derived from specific locations composing the framework of urban social environment. This originate from the artist’s behavior of recording life and environment at points of time on spatial coordinates where the artist stays, as to phenomena of specific domains incorporated in spite of ourselves.

Last Invisible Lines

*Contents of the work
The form of this work is speculated by the flow of light. This visualized form and invisible thought are segmented in each space and extend beyond continuous frames. This audio video work might destroy one’s own reverie both inside and outside the frame. Afterwards, it would be turned into ruins and revealed as the the appearance of Real.
The longest disillusionment between this past dream and a new desire that has not come yet might be kairos, and the light that is scattered between the lines would be like a long disillusionment. Meanwhile, those visibilized in this way may cease to exist leaving only the last Speculation that cannot be detected.

*Intent of the Direction
The artist embodies the dreams and desires revealed between infinite forms of gap, and the pain of loss that dissipates in vain through the audio video work.
