In her reinterpretation of the Rim Dong Sik Collection from SeMA Art Archives, Jinjoo Kim delves into Rim Dong Sik's records and investigates the cyclical and receptive occurrence of creating art in nature, a concept which Rim actively pursued during his lifetime. Rediscovering various methods of listening and forms of resonances in Rim's artistic attitude via the archive, Kim develops a video essay based on experiences of the archive alongside newly created images associated with the archive, all encountered through a framework of “hearing.” Among the 1,300 records of the Rim's archive, Kim especially focuses on her inquiry on materials related to sound experiments and Zen(禪) philosophy dating from his stay in Hamburg in the 1980s, these materials compel her to reconsider the value of artistic practice by questioningㅡwhich is differentiates from distinguishing or erasing wounds (defects)ㅡthe possibility of exchange and dialogue in the process of cognition. The space and time of hearing are generated by overlapping Rim's archived images and Kim’s personal stories of engagement with the archive, which then converge with scenes from the SeMA Art Archives itself. Through this process, Kim traces the echoes of past memories and proposes a common site at the intersection of the archive and archiving as media.
