Plywood, tape recorder, field recordings

Nancy H Kim's collective performance integrates sound, structure, and human interaction through a sculptural sound chamber. Utilizing plywood, a tape recorder, and field recordings, the artwork serves as an open platform for engagement, inviting participants to lie, sit, or walk upon its surface. The piece embodies a continuous interplay between organic and sonic elements, recorded and re-recorded to grant the object a sense of self-awareness. The performance evokes themes of coexistence between natural and industrial forces, encouraging viewers to experience the balance between spontaneity and control.

In the accompanying images, participants are seen engaging with the sculptural form in a relaxed and introspective manner, visually highlighting the communal and meditative aspect of Kim's work. The interactions around the sculpture, coupled with the wooden geometric design, emphasize the merging of the human element with both natural and manufactured materials, reinforcing the artwork's thematic exploration of coexistence and harmony.
