Artist: Kimsooja
Art in the Twenty-First Century Season 5, Systems

After watching her Art21 video, I chose an artist from Systems by the name of Kimsooja. Her work, multifaceted in various media forms, explores the idea of personal exploration itself, transcendence through the most simple day to day tasks, as well as aesthetic influences. The meanings in her work can be derived from many different dimensions of thought. For example, her works with "bottari", a Korean cover used in bedding and to bundle personal belongings in nomadic sects, gives us a view of the physical, cultural, and psychological derivatives that come from the use of this bundled cover.

Another particularly striking work of hers is known as "Needle Woman". Within this body of work, Kimsooja becomes not just a face in the crowds of different populous areas, but she is her own void within a space teeming with life and energy. The overwhelming feelings she describes of absorbing the surrounding energy is something I feel I can relate to on a personal level. Needle woman takes the focus off of her as an individual woman and places it on her transcendent state of being as she becomes the void in a crowd full of passersby.
