ZEITKLANG (2023)

Mathebibliothek TU Berlin, Germany
26.04.2023 – 21.07.2023

Works infused with a long contemplation on time and space resonated deeply within the unique setting of the Mathematics Library at TU Berlin. This exhibition was not merely a presentation of results, but a poetic record of the artist’s journey of inquiry and exploration. Alongside the Time Sound series, works from Am Anfang war der Klang — its origin and spiritual root — were also presented, allowing the two bodies of work to breathe together along the unfolding flow of time.

ZEITKLANG (2019)

Damso Galerie & Teehaus, Berlin, Germany
02.07.2019 – 29.09.2019

The solo exhibition ZEITKLANG by Soo Youn Kim explored the relationship between time, rhythm, and the act of creation. The artist visualized correlations between colors and sounds, drawing from the cycles of day and night and the transitions of seasons. The movement of the sun and moon was not only a source of light but also a medium for spiritual and aesthetic contemplation. Soo Youn Kim translated the rhythm of celestial motions into visual compositions that make time visible—and even audible. Using geometry, drawing, and sound, the exhibition presented a synesthetic approach to the passage of time.

The exhibition took place at Damso Galerie & Teehaus in Berlin, a unique cultural space where visitors can experience Korean cuisine and tea culture in a serene setting.

Artist Talk: 16.09.2019, 17:00 The event featured a presentation on the exhibition theme, accompanied by music from the ZEITKLANG series and an artist interview.

Am Anfang war der Klang (2017)

St. Petri-Pauli-Kirche / Zentrum Taufe, Lutherstadt Eisleben, Germany
21.04.2017 – 06.06.2017

Soo Youn Kim’s solo exhibition Am Anfang war der Klang took place at St. Petri-Pauli-Kirche in Lutherstadt Eisleben, Germany, from April 21 to June 6, 2017, as part of the official program of “Kirchentag on the way to Halle / Eisleben”, marking the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.

To host the exhibition, the church specially built movable walls, creating a dialogue between contemporary works and the Gothic architecture. The show featured textile works, circular paintings, and geometric drawings exploring sound, time, and the biblical theme of creation.

The church, known as the baptism site of Martin Luther, added deep personal significance for the artist, aligning her themes of resonance and transformation with the spiritual legacy of the space.

Am Anfang war der Klang (2016)

Heilandskirche, Berlin-Moabit, Germany
12.03.2016 – 23.04.2016

Soo Youn Kim’s solo exhibition Am Anfang war der Klang was held at Heilandskirche, Berlin-Moabit, from March 12 to April 23, 2016, during her Meisterschüler studies in Berlin.

The show brought together paintings, drawings, and textile works, presenting a visual language rooted in the structure of the musical scale and the symbolism of the holy heptagon (Das heilige Siebeneck). Through key pieces such as 03FAmily and 01Resonanz, the artist explored cycles of time, resonance, and transformation—bridging abstraction with spiritual and spatial reflection.
