Countless pebble-like spheres and holes in the sand—traces left by crabs—form a landscape, a vulnerable architecture, destined to disappear with the tide’s ebb and flow. In these photos taken at a seaside in Korea, each crevice marks a passage and a home for living beings. Here, Kimsooja focuses in on the structure drawn by the traces of movement in horizontal and vertical directions. A force of life penetrates the ground like the needle does the surface of fabric. The images poetically allude to the artist’s practice of weaving different fabrics and concepts through the use of a needle in both physical and symbolic forms.
수없이 많은 자갈 모양의 구체와 모래 위의 구멍 ― 게들이 남긴 흔적 ― 은 파도의 밀물과 썰물에 따라 사라질 운명에 놓인 풍경, 곧 취약한 건축을 구성한다. 한국의 해안가에서 촬영된 이 사진 속에서, 각각의 틈새는 생명체의 통로이자 거처를 나타낸다. 여기서 김수자는 수평과 수직의 움직임이 남긴 흔적이 그려내는 구조에 주목한다. 생명이 가진 힘은 바늘이 직물의 표면을 관통하듯이 땅을 꿰뚫는다. 이 이미지는 바늘을 물리적인, 그리고 상징적인 도구로 사용하며 서로 다른 직물과 개념을 엮어내는 작가의 작업을 은유적으로 드러낸다.
