Kim Sooja Conditions of Humanity

The artwork of Kim Sooja (1957) is deeply rooted in her own culture, and presents the essence of Korean life through traditional fabrics, the bojaghi, which accompany Korean families throughout life. Kim Sooja sews, alters and tears up clothes or used linen to emphasize the persistence of "feminine presence." These altered fabrics are then placed in her installations. Although Laundry Woman suggests a tangible link between the artist and Far East, it is marked by a nomadic strain, since Kim Sooja looks to different cultures.Zugazagoitia, Julian is the author of 'Kim Sooja Conditions of Humanity', published 0009 under ISBN 9788874390595 and ISBN 8874390599.
