On view at MAM from Friday, June 29 to Sunday, August 26, 2012, Kimsooja’s A Needle Woman consists of an eight-channel video installation set in the densely populated centers of Cairo, Delhi, Lagos, London, Mexico City, New York, Shanghai, and Tokyo. In each projection, a lone figure stands utterly motionless with her back to the camera, immersed amid a torrent of pedestrians. This presentation also includes two closely related single-channel videos by Kimsooja: A Needle Woman (Kitakyushu) and A Laundry Woman. Together they offer a vision of timeless serenity that serves as a counterpoint to the frenetic energy of the 21st-century global city.
