The work and research of Kyulim Kim (Daegu, South Korea, 1993) focuses on the spatiality of neglected spaces that arise from urban transformation and displacement. Kim mainly is interested in exploring the restraints and characteristics of the medium of video itself and its relationship to the space and context in which it is shown. The video work In Transit is an informed reflection of the site of Het Hem in Zaandam (NL) as an ammunition factory and starts with an imagined act of bringing an artwork on site. The act is embodied in a scene set at the building’s loading gates where the manufactured bullets were once shipped out, speculating on the relationship between contemporary spaces of supply chain logistics and art work transportation.
