KIMSOOJA September 30 – December 17, 2006 Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthallb www.magasin3.com

Kimsooja is always present in her video works, leading us into the works and into her art. At Magasin 3 she has parked a truck from 1938 with the back piled with ‘bottari’ – cloth bundles used for storing personal belongings. A similar truck appears in the video work Cities on the Move – 2727 Kilometers Bottari Truck, 1997: sitting on the pile of bundles she travels to all the places in Korea where she has lived and which hold memories for her. more culture >>>
