The Korean artist Jung A Kim describes her relationship to photography as follows: " Through photography I have the feeling of being the world. I perceive things with my eyes and my heart and start to be a human being." Her pictures are diary-like records that reflect her innermost thoughts and poetically capture the essential relationship between man and nature. Reminiscence serves to bring the past to light. In today’s media-oriented times, this is an important aspect for the photographer. By means of photography the intangible world of thoughts and memories can manifest itself in reality. Her photographs can in some cases be understood as a metaphor for recollections that were initially overlooked but which find their way back to us in the form of images. The pictures tell the artist’s own story but also speak to the universal ties between humankind and all of Creation, ultimately presenting us with small fragments of life.
