Excerpt from the Korea Times article by Cathy Rose A. Garcia:
"Photographer Atta Kim believes that ``all that exists will eventually disappear.'' A photograph is meant to capture an image, but Kim is interested in taking photographs that show how objects and humans disappear.
The photographs, on display at Kim's solo exhibition ``ON-AIR" at the Rodin Gallery, explore his philosophy of human existence.
``I began with the core concept that every single existing being in the universe will eventually disappear. I tried to compare this concept to the nature of photography, which tends to record and remember everything. I have used two types of processes to realize this comparison: one is to employ very long exposures to make all the moving objects within a scene disappear. The other is to digitally superimpose many different images so that they are subsumed within a new, composite image,'' Kim said, in the exhibition catalogue."
