Kim Atta is a photographer who have majored Engineering unlike many other artists and has shown interest in literature and philosophy through his art. The artist has established his unique art also known as ‘image training’ based on Georgii Ivanovich Gurdzhiev(1877~1949), a spiritual leader’s theory that incorporated of Zen idea from the East. In the premise that ‘all beings are bound to disappear,’ the artist thinks, raises questions and philosophize. While examining the harmony between Yin and Yang, perspectives of the society, and mortality of the universe, his art works suggest the time flow that we experience everyday can be visualized. The art that conveys his unique philosophical reasoning has drawn attention from New York art scene and many others in the world.
