Kimsooja: A Wind Woman comprises a series of unique iris prints derived from large-scale film stills from her video A Wind Woman, 2003. The video was shot during a hillside drive in Honolulu, Hawaii. Here, she opened the camera shutter for an extended period of time, enhancing the light exposure and allowing the exterior world to flood into the pictorial field. In this body of work Kimsooja was interested particularly in the in-between space where the trees and the sky meet. This enabled her to transform realistic imagery into abstract paintings, and to continue her personal investigation into the blurring of categorical boundaries.
