Riassunto

Sung Hwan Kim's art is an ongoing experiment with narration, of which he writes: "I thought of a room as a box from which a story vibrates, and I began to think about the constant occupants of rooms. In the room focused on captives (the tortured): an actress on stand-by for her secret lover, a dog, a radio host, a traveler in a city and so forth-all as the room occupants (and vibrators of the hidden boxes). I knew that, in a breeding season, male humpback whales of one population sing the same song, but that each time this song is sung, it varies through imitation and improvisation. I thought of both performances, and the stories told within them, as versions of variations. Plain phenomena are not more exciting than they are, but they are often recounted as otherwise through exaggeration, deletion, intonation and rhythm, texture of voice and the usage of time-emerging as fairy tales, myths, magic, lies, propaganda, history, or sometimes fact. Most of the songs from In the room will be published separately as album by dogr called In Korean Wilds and Villages. In this form, I recognize that the authorship of these stories is conferred to another medium, another language, another culture, and another man."
