Curator: Sungwoo Kim


Inbai Kim’s sculptures have expanded the focus beyond superficial images, extending into the inner essence of forms by considering how they exist within space. Paradoxically, the observed result is closer to a state of something not yet fully realized. In other words, the work desires attention not as a fixed entity that has become something, but as a processual existence capable of becoming anything. This exhibition, 𝙎𝙚𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄𝙨 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚, focuses on sculptural actions that become possible when the ‘invisible’ is treated as a visual subject. The artist proposes modeling or casting ‘absence,’ observing what ‘disappears or visually ceases to exist,’ using these imperceptible states or situations as catalysts for expanding the realm of thought. Through these approaches, the artist engages in sculptural experiments that mediate or represent the act of ‘seeing.’ The exhibition thus invites viewers to become aware of a space-time that exists between logic and sensation, reality and imagination, the real and the symbolic, yet remains unrecognized.
