“When looking at people surrounding the table, it feels like them being one united community.”
MMCA Hyundai Motor Series 2016 : Kimsooja – Archive of Mind has ended its 6 months journey, which was held at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul from July 2016 to February 2017. One of the main works of this exhibition, which had been completed through visitors’ participation, has emptied and filled their hearts through the act of clay ball making. Kimsooja mentions that the process of rolling and pressing clay balls to make it as round as possible, can be perceived as a symbolic presentation of the balance and imbalance existing in our real world. Moreover, she adds that people can experience each individual will be able to experience becoming one united community by accumulating their ‘minds.’
