Artist Kimsooja presents the exhibition “To Breathe, Constellation” at the Bourse de Commerce, Pinault Collection in Paris.

His intervention, both monumental and immaterial, in the Rotunda of the Bourse de Commerce consists of an immense mirror covering the ground which, as soon as one approaches it, overturns the entire architecture and, with it, the order of the world. , the sky hollowing out beneath our feet in the center of the building. The Korean artist also takes over the 24 display cases of the Passage as well as the lower level of the museum, with works and video installations on her favorite themes: identity, borders, memory, exile, displacement, weaving.

Kimsooja talks to us about her exhibited works, alongside Emma Lavigne, general director of Pinault Collection and Jaeho Chong, architect and scenographer of Kimsooja Studio.
