About the Artwork

In this series of works, photographic images of a museum’s inside have been transferred to stainless steel plates, colors have been applied to certain portions, and gilt frames have been printed over them. Through this series Kim Hong-shik pays attention to those who view masterpieces via their mobile phones and cameras, even when such masterworks are right before their eyes. In these works viewers are able to have a unique experience in which they view art museums and visitors within the artworks themselves.
