Kim Heewon photographed this image in Milan’s Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, which is housed in Napoléon’s former in-town residence Villa Belgiojoso Bonaparte. When the present work, depicting a partially opened balcony door in 1:1 scale, is displayed on a wall, it functions to further extend both space and time. The illusionary effect of Kim’s composition is that it not only transforms and expands the space in which it is hung but also transports the viewer to another place and time. In his ongoing Someone’s Window series, he asks, ‘what would it be like to step into the shoes of the extraordinary and see what they see?’ Kim is a multimedia artist whose creative output spans multiple fields, including photography, video and design. His work resides in various collections, including the Rossana Orlandi Collection, Italy and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea.
