In his Poongkyoung series, multi-media artist Kim uses steel powder culled from grinding steel rods to write calligraphy on the ground then photographs it at ground level to create horizontal landscapes. This process represents the transition from modernity to tradition, the material world to the natural world and the vertical to the horizontal. His works have been shown internationally and are held in various collections, including the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea.
