About the Video
At the 2022 Venice Biennale’s Korean Pavilion, transdisciplinary artist and composer Yunchul Kim presented Gyre, a series of interconnected, large-scale, and technically-complex works. The exhibition includes seven installations focused on three themes: The Swollen Suns, The Path of Gods, and The Great Outdoors, which are powered by invisible matter to move in synchronicity as if a single breathing body.
In a conversation, media theorist Siegfried Zielinski and Yunchul Kim discuss the symbiosis Kim strives to achieve between sound, material, and movement, how Kim’s use of materials with kinetic properties provides a method to explore the nature of time, and how a certain playfulness and element of surprise contributes to Gyre’s immersiveness.
