This book provides an in-depth exploration of the work of Atta Kim, a prominent Korean contemporary artist, known for his philosophical exploration through photography. It features three major series: the "Deconstruction Series" (1992-95), depicting lifeless bodies in desolate settings; the "Museum Project" (1995-2002), showcasing individuals in acrylic boxes to critique modern societal values; and the ongoing "On-Air Project" (2002-present), using long exposures to question time and perception. The book includes images from parliamentary sessions to military exercises, emphasizing human ephemerality. An interview with Kim by ICP curator Christopher Phillips provides additional context and insight.
