Museum Project
-process for making his own private museum. It meas that museum no only keep relics of objects with archeological valeu. All existing being have their own meaning and value.
He made glass boxes and kept objects in just like how museum does.
On Air Project
-Meaning that it's going on but will disappear eventually.
It is like Buddhist doctrin, Je-heng-mu-snag, eaning, all subjects exists for a reason but they all disappear in the end.
using Long Exposure ...
-He adjusted the filters to control the amount of light in the picture. This allows only minimal light. He set the exposure to
gather all the movements for 8 hours. In the mean time, all moving things vanish into the air.
- He selects a place where often seem as the center of the world where the most people gather. For instance Time Square in
New York and China. However, you see no cars and people when taking a single picture for eight hours. No movement
- He make those fast moving objects disappear fast while making slow moving objects appear slow.

I think this is interesting because when photography first came out it could not capture anything moving but the buildings that were still; because it needed times to gather all the lights. Atta Kim is going backwards. He is trying to do something when he does not have to.
And through that, taking the harder way (8hours exposure..) it makes people understand what he is trying to say. Using photography to speak of what has been bothering/a thought that he has always had on the back of his brain throughout his life.
Monologue of Ice
Ice is a good substance to describe visible objects disappear. series of ‘On Air’
He wanted to express the contrast between humans' desire to exist forever and the nature’s rules.
