JinSik Kim presents some of his most representative works, including the HalfHalf installation and One Point. The first one consists of four different mirrors that play with materiality and minimal shapes, underlining the strong contrast between the pureness of metal and stone, and new industrial methods. The mini golf One Point shows balance within the strong contrast between graphic shapes and a weighty material like marble. It is, as the designer describes it, a functional drawing of a golf course.
