Journey into Calm

Journey into Calm is a media and installation exhibition that integrates encounters with nature into the travel experience of passengers passing through Gimhae International Airport. The airport is a place where people are constantly arriving and departing. Rather than asking visitors to stop and view the exhibition in a single location, the exhibition makes the journey through the airport itself part of the viewing experience. Presented across various spaces in both the international and domestic terminals, the exhibition allows passengers to encounter the works naturally along their routes without intentionally seeking them out. Journey into Calm does not simply represent nature. By introducing elements of nature into the airport environment, it proposes a new way of experiencing an exhibition—one that unfolds through movement rather than stillness.

Chang-kyum Kim

"Saying nothing, he says something. Saying something, he says nothing." Does today's image reflect the concept of Mythos? There are two ways in which humans communicate the truth. They are Logos and Mythos. Mythos is always challenging existing ideologies and creating new metaphors to arrive at artistic truth. Chang-kyum Kim, whose video works challenge the distinction between the real and the virtual, have attracted attention from the domestic and international art worlds. They will be exhibiting 3D composite image works alongside video installations.
