Spectacle, 2010
Video, 1 Minute (Loop)
Beom Kim’s art practice is a questioning of perception and knowledge. Whether proposing absurd reversals, offering instruction to inanimate objects or drawing obsessive mazes that hover between the meditative and neurotic, Kim challenges truth while emphasising tensions between interior and physical worlds.
A cheetah chasing an antelope is an image indelibly pressed into the iconographic shorthand of predator and prey. But what happens if the hunted becomes the hunter? Kim explores this reversal of fortune in his video Spectacle (2010). Made from natureprogramme television footage found online and edited into a perpetual, life-or-death chase, the work can be understood as a reflection on destiny, suffering and impermanence influenced by Buddhist thought. Much like Kim’s works on paper and canvas presented at SB12 in the Sharjah Art Museum, Spectacle relies on profound simplicity to capture the dilemmas of existence and desire.
