Through photography and video, Ikhyun Gim speculates on connections between past and present, as well as units large and small. Gim engages with the land of the city, gazing upon the sculptures and the people, time and ideologies they represent, recording the moment he presses the shutter to take a closer look. These so-called records are then laid out along the walls of the corridor between the first and second floors of Seongsan Art Hall, and placed on structural paper seats and railings. As the viewing of the sculpture begins to overlap with the viewing of the photograph, Gim also asks what a photograph can inscribe between the time that comes first and the time that comes late: a hand clutching the air, a memory, a fragment left behind in this city, a shard of earthenware.
