Atta Kim: On-Air
International Center of Photography
1133 Avenue of the Americas at 43rd Street, New York
June 9 through August 27, 2006

This exhibition presents a selection of recent works from the ON-AIR Project by the Korean contemporary artist Atta Kim (born 1956). For these large-scale, visually spectacular color photographs, Kim employed extended exposures—sometimes as long as eight hours——to explore fundamental questions of time and perception. Using such varied subjects as parliamentary sessions, soccer games, outdoor military exercises, and erotic unions, Kim suggests that it is possible for us to perceive the passage of time in radically different ways.
