[Korea] KIM Ku-Lim Installation Bucket From phenomenon to traces The Meaning of 1/24 second
Kim Ku-Lim was born in Daegu and resisted the established education system offered in universities. He began to produce lyrical abstract works in late 1960s and joined an art circle. He produced the first experimental film in Korea, Meaning of 1/24 Seconds (1969), and released From Phenomenon to Trace (1970), the first land art. Korea’s first experimental film Meaning of 1/24 Seconds contains a glimpse of a society in the process of industrialization and urbanization in the late 1960s through intermittent video clips. From Phenomenon to Trace recorded in land art showed a fire being set on a water bank which left behind traces in a geometric pattern. It was the first work of its kind in Korea that returned to nature in accordance with the passage of time. From Phenomenon to Trace was a work that elevated jwibulnori, a traditional Korean game involving fire, into the contemporary arts. Creating omnidirectional works as a member of the The Fourth Group in 1970 before moving to Japan, Kim Ku-Lim worked in the genre of conceptual arts where he broke down the concept of reality and virtual reality by painting traces of daily objects in the middle of 1970. |
