Museum Project #001
1995
A chromogenic print face-mounted to Plexiglas, Atta Kim's *Museum Project #001* captures a long-exposure photograph of a museum interior, rendering human visitors as ghostly, near-invisible presences within the grand architectural space. The extended duration of the exposure dissolves individual figures into faint traces, inviting reflection on the fleeting nature of human existence against the permanence of cultural institutions. The luminous quality achieved through the face-mounting process enhances the dreamlike atmosphere, heightening the tension between presence and absence.
