Kimsooja: Topography of Body

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Axel Vervoordt Gallery Hong Kong is pleased to present a solo exhibition by multidisciplinary conceptual artist Kimsooja. Topography of Body is Kimsooja’s first solo exhibition after several presentations in the city. The exhibition features a selection of work that demonstrates her vast multidisciplinary practice including the video performance, Thread Routes: Chapter III, a series of indigo Indian block prints, new clay and rice paper works, and two prints of Geometry of Body.

A hypnotic, heartbeat-like sound welcomes visitors and activates the space with a faint echo and its repetitive, mesmerising rhythm. Kimsooja invites the audience into a private universe in which she peacefully initiates quiet action, embracing and connecting those around her, engaging past and present, nature and architecture, and especially the inhabitants.
