Chansong Kim focuses on 'moment', the finding of fleeting emotions and insignificant experiences in our daily life. She majored in Fine Arts at Kookmin University and has continued to paint with a concentration on borders. She discovered that she was unfamiliar with a photograph in which only parts of her body were captured by mistake, and she studied the boundaries that separate her from what is outside of her body. In addition, she expressed the adaptation, conflict, and tension of a new existence in an unfamiliar place through the “Garden Series,” which was inspired by the narrative of Paris's free and beautiful gardens and plants during her 2015 year-long stay there. Chansong Kim, who is captivated by the uncertainty of painting, indicates the direction of future works, which she considers to be a balance between an interest in the subject's integrity and the material's physical properties.

Chansong Kim transforms the body again by means of painting so as to separate the body in the screen and the one outside. First, she takes hundreds of photos for the first step of the job. Through this process, the subject is consumed as the object of the photo – the role of the object rather than the body – unlike the beginning. Sometimes cutting itself, sometimes deforming itself partially, the body gradually remains with a body which we ignore who it belong to. Although the subject and the body inside the screen are intertwined, we manage to realize that this complete separation attempt was unsuccessful. And this body remains like a moment in suspense with the subject somewhere on these ambiguous borders. In this process, another, anxious and immanent begins to appear, blurring the boundaries.
