| Explanation | After completing her study in France in 1985, Kimsooja made two-dimensional works by stitching traditional Korean cloth together like abstract paintings and applying colours afterwards. After 1989, she started making different types of installation, by utilizing the variable nature of cloth. By placing a pojagi wrapping-cloth associated with migration, on the sheet of bedcovers for the newlyweds, this work implies family/settlement and separation/displacement. As the title, Deductive Object suggests, the work goes beyond the level of the mere conception of Korean cloth and its visual abstraction, extending out to the memories of the viewers or various images in the realm of reality. |
