This pinhole photography by Soun-Gui Kim showcases her essential aesthetics that every moment is decisive and belongs to eternity simultaneously. Time is one of the themes Kim has constantly explored through her works. Kim’s foolish photography contain time as a whole, and they are not made with the eyes but simply done with the body. This particular photography work has been exhibited and since collected by Centre Pompidou, Paris. Jean-Luc Nancy commented about the artist’s work, “Soun-Gui Kim experiences time as material, and perceives before and after, left and right, yesterday and tomorrow, from one end to the other end of a beach, and east and west as simultaneous. In this instance time means all time, and all time is always the present.”⁣ ⁣

Kim, during the 1970s, actively exchanged influences with experimental artists during the time, including John Cage and Namjune Paik. In today’s terms she was a pioneer of interdisciplinary art and performance, in which various art disciplines converge; and this led her to pursue ephemerality in performance such as those of the Fluxus movement. Her experimentation with photography is another critical example of Kim's interest in various medium. It can be highlighted with the art festival organized by Kim. In 1986, Kim invited her friends to participate in an art festival she organized. Under the title “Video and Multimedia: Soun-Gui Kim and Her Invitees, Kim invited her artist colleagues from various countries—including John Cage, Namjune Paik, Daniel Charles, Ko Nakajima, Ira Schneider, Davison Gigliotti—to take part in performances, exhibitions, poetry readings, discussions and gatherings. ⁣ ⁣

Soun-Gui Kim is a multimedia artist, one of the pioneers in multidisciplinary art. She has been living and working in France since 1971, actively teaching, creating, and establishing her career for the last 50 years. She recently held a large-scale retrospective exhibition, "Lazy Clouds" at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA), Seoul, Korea in 2019 and, in 2021, is scheduled to hold a solo show at ZKM, Karlsruhe, Germany and participate at the group exhibition at Mori Museum of Art curated by Mami Kataoka.
