“Located in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, Sunhyewon is a site steeped in the history and tradition of SK Group, recently reopening as the group’s new research institute. To introduce this special place to the public and expand its role as a cultural platform, PODO museum has launched a new cultural program, “Sunhyewon Art Project 1.0.” The inaugural project presents an exhibition by Kimsooja — a world-renowned artist representing Korea.
This exhibition marks a special moment where the historical depth of Sunhyewon meets Kimsooja’s artistic universe, offering visitors a contemplative experience that transcends time and space. The central work, To Breathe—Sunhyewon, 2025, is a site-specific installation that transforms Kyeongheunggak, a traditional Hanok building that retains the dignity of Korean architecture, into a whole piece of contemporary art. By covering the floor with mirrors, Kimsooja reflects the architecture, light, and viewers, dissolving boundaries between built structure and individual. This immersive space reinterprets the stillness of Hanok into a sensorial experience where the past and the present, the space and being intersect. Even the seemingly fixed architecture begins to shift and flow as it blends with ephemeral light and reflections.
Notably, this is the first time Kimsooja’s To Breathe series has been installed within a traditional Hanok structure, adding symbolic significance to the juxtaposition between the work and the historic context of Kyongheunggak. As suggested by the title, To Breathe, the piece captures the subtle movement of light and air within the tranquil beauty of the Hanok, drawing the viewer’s breath and footsteps into the artwork itself.”

The Meta-Painting series explores the fundamental principles of painting and its origins. It began in 2020 at the Wanås Konst Sculpture Park in Sweden, where Kimsooja produced linen spun from flax that she had planted, cultivated, and harvested. It was later woven into a canvas surface as a form of painting that need not be painted. The project reconstructs painting as a life-generating cycle, and the unpainted canvas investigates the conceptual relationship between painting, agriculture, and textiles.
The black Meta-Paintings conceptualize and bring to reality the absence of light and surface. They take form as both a flat and a wrapped surface, continuing the formalistic trajectory of Kimsooja’s folded and unfolded Bottari. While the depth of black color absorbs nearly all light and shadow, its surface resists our discernment. The piece points toward painting as a place of not knowing, a site of vulnerability, and a moment of beginning.
As a counterpart to the Meta-Painting series, To Breathe is a site-specific installation that prismatically diffracts natural sunlight into radiating spectral bands, or concentric double-axis brushstrokes of vertical and horizontal colors. The displacement of lightwaves guides the eyes back and forth across the threshold of architecture, effectively turning the act of gazing into a form of weaving the surface.

As the first artist to exhibit at Meridiano, Kimsooja is conscious of the gallery’s name, which originates from meridian — a circular line connecting the north and south poles of the earth at the shortest vertical distance — as well as the exhibition space’s architectural elements, which are exposed to the intense direct sunlight along Oaxaca’s Pacific Coast. Jaoseon’s initiates a performance that places the verticality of the body at the moment when the light is transformed into a geometric structure within the gallery.
