With abandoned materials, Sook Jin Jo finds life beyond death

The Korea Herald article discusses the art exhibition 'Sook Jin Jo: That's How the Light Gets In' at the Nam-Seoul Museum of Art, focusing on the works of artist Sook Jin Jo. The exhibition features installations and sculptures made from reclaimed and discarded materials such as railroad ties, weathered rafters, and timber, which Jo uses to explore themes of life emerging from abandonment. Jo emphasizes that her work is not about death but rather about the vitality that can arise from what has been left behind. She explains that these materials carry the energy and memories of those who previously used them. The article highlights several key pieces, including 'All Things are Born of Being III,' where branches emerge from a discarded wine rack, and the 'Witness' series, which incorporates sounds of nature and historical events. Jo's artistic journey includes a lifelong fascination with mortality, influenced by her early reflections on death and her practice of photographing cemeteries during travels.

Bias read (Center): The article focuses on an art exhibition and the creative process of an artist, which does not involve political issues, public policy, or contentious social topics. Therefore, it is considered apolitical and balanced in framing.
