By analyzing his own memories, Kim Young-Jin creates installations that explore the existence of self. The artist believes that each individual exists in a constructed reality that he or she perceives in an ever-so-slight time lag; therefore, each exists theoretically in the past. The artist thus probes the meaning of events that he has experienced. The resulting images, created by enlarged projections, express a balance within life and a harmony with nature.
