About Artist 김진희는 나와 타자, 그리고 우리로 대변되는 보편적 인물의 일상을 다채로운 색의 스펙트럼으로 표현한다. 그는 등장인물의 평범한 행위와 원초적 상태를 인종과 문화, 성별과 언어의 구분을 상쇄하는 시각적 알레고리로 활용한다. 또한 개인이 처한 지리적, 정치적, 사회적 환경에 따라 발생하는 여러 차이와 소외의 감정을 돌아보며 정체성을 규정하는 기성의 인식에 질문을 던진다. 극적인 빛 아래 드러나는 인물의 작은 움직임은 매 순간 흔들리는 스스로의 현전을 확인하고자 하는 우리의 의지와 소망을 반영한다.
Jinhee Kim delves into the colorful spectrum of everyday life, capturing the essence of oneself, others, and our shared experiences. Kim utilizes ordinary acts and primordial states of characters as visual allegories that transcend divisions of race, culture, gender, and language. She also challenges existing perceptions that define one’s identity by reflecting on the differences and feelings of alienation that arise from geographical, political, and social environments. The subtle movements of the figures, revealed under dramatic light, reflect our will and desire to affirm our fragile existence in each moment.
