It explores how every story, whether individual or societal, begins with a single point of creation but inevitably encounters moments of transformation. When creation is the opening sentence of the story, considerations of destruction inevitably follow. Within that story, the story of the life is a repeat of destruction and reconstruction unfolding in a perpetual, cycloid motion of renewal. The parallel between the destruction expressed in the stories and that which we encounter in our lives highlights chaos and transformation. As each collision contributes to the ongoing narrative. We are constantly in flux, undergoing change and growth from this ongoing dialogue between creation and collapse. photos: Ira Grünberger video:&nbsp;Jinglei Zhang <img width="4700" height="3357" width_o="4700" height_o="3357" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fb34c8e21363e54fcf9adcabe6d23d8fa23bcc144447697b5b5e77c629ca1cb1/theincitingincident_loukim-53.jpg" data-mid="214876971" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fb34c8e21363e54fcf9adcabe6d23d8fa23bcc144447697b5b5e77c629ca1cb1/theincitingincident_loukim-53.jpg" /><img width="3357" height="4700" width_o="3357" height_o="4700" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3e6a1bfdfbd592528dd2588adbe7da9e475068515b2e96d6027b39b5e6557c20/theincitingincident_loukim-27.jpg" data-mid="214876990" border="0" data-scale="50" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3e6a1bfdfbd592528dd2588adbe7da9e475068515b2e96d6027b39b5e6557c20/theincitingincident_loukim-27.jpg" /><img width="3357" height="4700" width_o="3357" height_o="4700" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/96e041b423a1790fd43c291980a30226fda8182aa23fb12e4f7e603e73c15472/theincitingincident_loukim-10.jpg" data-mid="214877010" border="0" data-scale="50" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/96e041b423a1790fd43c291980a30226fda8182aa23fb12e4f7e603e73c15472/theincitingincident_loukim-10.jpg" /><img width="4700" height="3357" width_o="4700" height_o="3357" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/03f32dbf941ea490bf05fa02a9ea43a480d964106ae09edd9e3ded97afe4fa65/theincitingincident_loukim-44.jpg" data-mid="214876975" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/03f32dbf941ea490bf05fa02a9ea43a480d964106ae09edd9e3ded97afe4fa65/theincitingincident_loukim-44.jpg" /> <img width="3357" height="4700" width_o="3357" height_o="4700" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/91bc453f743e7381db49f665d812d8d9e986c133531decb0a24fedf3493bfc4d/theincitingincident_loukim-15.jpg" data-mid="214876979" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/91bc453f743e7381db49f665d812d8d9e986c133531decb0a24fedf3493bfc4d/theincitingincident_loukim-15.jpg" /> https://loukim.info/as-we-fell-asleep-something-awakened Thu, 14 Aug 2025 19:36:43 +0000 LOU KIM https://loukim.info/as-we-fell-asleep-something-awakened as we fell asleep something awakened . &nbsp;<img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f43ef89196792ef707bd52911663c69ce8ab4026ebb4a0fe640c67ee67a4a974/on3.jpg" data-mid="237046317" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f43ef89196792ef707bd52911663c69ce8ab4026ebb4a0fe640c67ee67a4a974/on3.jpg" /><img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/25d4d37b6be04e7237a9d78b88a55ca0eb18f64659444127a8651952092cf7bc/on.jpg" data-mid="237046315" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/25d4d37b6be04e7237a9d78b88a55ca0eb18f64659444127a8651952092cf7bc/on.jpg" /> https://loukim.info/Spectral-Massage-1 Thu, 01 Aug 2024 11:24:31 +0000 LOU KIM https://loukim.info/Spectral-Massage-1 Spectral Massage Spectral Massage is inspired by the role of the shaman as the one who goes in between states(material/spiritual).

With this perspective, the importance of recognizing what happened in the past is emphasized. With the positionality of the artists, Koreans in the Netherlands, the narrative of the work unfolds the story of how the Netherlands and the city Hague, especially the Hague convention in 1907, take a role in the colonization of Korea. This video hopes to deepen the understanding of the interconnection of one place to another, such as how the several events that happened in the Hague in 1907 became so affecting to the other side of the world. The sound piece in this video is re-composed out of several Korean traditional shamanism music, which is usually used for consoling resentment of a ghost. In the video, the Colonial history of Korea is metaphorized as a ghost. This video and sound is dedicated to summoning the colonial past and solacing the scar of colonialism, not only to Korean history but also to other (ongoing) colonial scars across the world video, stereo sound. 4min23sec In collaboration with Jiyoung Yim <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/678970a493579c5c17c1e3f37ebfcef3edbd58eaa769724e99deedb14ab48f42/title-image.png" data-mid="215826901" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/678970a493579c5c17c1e3f37ebfcef3edbd58eaa769724e99deedb14ab48f42/title-image.png" /> <img width="3582" height="2104" width_o="3582" height_o="2104" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/17eab49cfd8aecb74368c3a47b720205ad5874d196122bdd9cbe8d04585429c4/Screenshot-2024-08-05-at-11.06.10AM.png" data-mid="215826925" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/17eab49cfd8aecb74368c3a47b720205ad5874d196122bdd9cbe8d04585429c4/Screenshot-2024-08-05-at-11.06.10AM.png" /> https://loukim.info/Destruction-in-Times Mon, 11 Nov 2024 21:21:32 +0000 LOU KIM https://loukim.info/Destruction-in-Times Destruction in Times&nbsp; <img width="3968" height="2870" width_o="3968" height_o="2870" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/381310adf396712a66cb6d5217bb46956e66ad9397b040a9c2f9ba7dfea53b6b/v.jpg" data-mid="221591656" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/381310adf396712a66cb6d5217bb46956e66ad9397b040a9c2f9ba7dfea53b6b/v.jpg" />. &nbsp; https://loukim.info/The-Coil-of-Collapes Wed, 21 Sep 2022 19:10:03 +0000 LOU KIM https://loukim.info/The-Coil-of-Collapes The Coil of Collapse — Thesis Publication “Life, the universe, the world, and the time of each day disintegrate and get re-constituted through innumerable acts, incrementally re-build-ing through luminous care.
