Catalogue published on the occasion of Kijong Zin's exhibition 'ON AIR' at Arario Seoul in 2008. In addressing the manipulation of reality by the media, the artist has transformed the gallery space into what resembles a television network, which critic Kim Won-bang calls a "briefing room of global earth, telecasting the entire world." Visitors are first met with numerous monitors broadcasting news, documentary programs and commercials, with many of the scenes bearing unnatural flaws. Upon entering the "production department", viewers' suspicions are confirmed as they observe a series of miniature sets being filmed in real-time on closed-circuit television.
Images of installation accompanied by notes. With artist's biography.
Note: A DVD related to this exhibition is also available for consultation.
