Kim Beom challenges conventional ideas that are considered as social norms through fictional images using various mediums such as drawing, video, painting, installation, etc. The artist subverts the meanings of the objects that we see everyday lives. ‘Pregnant Hammer’, which is a hammer with bulging handle and “Radio Shaped Iron”, “Iron Shaped Radio,” that switched both shapes, etc. they are either personified objects and/ or are the subversion of the essence of the objects. If one can say that classical way of representation takes concretizing an impression into a form, Kim Beom’s way discards was of representation and suggests to see alternative reality through memory and experience of the audience.
