“The distinctive emotional resonance of Jang Soon Im’s work emerges from this very condition. What we are looking at is a newspaper page that once carried the clamor of the world, yet that clamor has subsided into the dots of ink and can no longer be heard. All that remains is the underlying structure of the printed page and the slow passage of time embodied in the artist’s hand as it fills the surface, mark by mark.

To contemplate vanished events through the form of a medium that is itself disappearing—through these two layers of disappearance, Im’s work takes on a mode of reflection akin to quiet mourning, neither recollection nor documentation.

This may also explain the title of the exhibition, White Paper (白書): a report whose words have been erased and can no longer be read; a white paper that reports nothing, yet holds within it the passage of time. Before these blank, whitened pages, we find ourselves unfolding, one by one, the dates of our own lives in our minds.”
