首尔多学科设计师金珍克(Jinsik Kim)的最新系列是“重量”(Weight):一系列限量版作品,以当代的眼光重新想象石器时代对岩石的使用。
该项目从过去和现在关于材料使用的问题中获得灵感,通过一系列极简主义的设计揭示了石头的质地和重量。金的“重量”系列并没有将石材加工到丢失其原始痕迹的程度,而是不经提炼:“它是为了揭示开采时岩石的质地和高密度,”金解释说,“不是成品表面的美丽。”“这些岩石与它们上面抽象的金属底座并列摆放,钢铁光滑的银色表面与石头的粗糙之间明显存在着一种物质上的不协调。”每件作品都被设计成一个功能性的艺术对象,一个旨在从概念上激发观众的兴趣,但也有实际用途。基座可以用来储存书籍,而岩石的设计是为了激发人们对材料重量和山脉开采的哲学思考。

The latest collection from Seoul-based multidisciplinary designer Jinsik Kim is ‘Weight’: A series of limited edition pieces that reimagine Stone Age usage of rocks in a contemporary light.
Drawing inspiration from past and present questions around material usage, the project reveals the texture and weight of stone through a series of minimalist designs. Rather than process stone to the point where it loses traces of origin, Kim’s ‘Weight’ collection is unrefined: “It is to reveal the texture and high density of the rock as it was mined”, Kim explains, “rather than the beauty of the finished surface.” These rocks are juxtaposed against the abstract metal plinths that they sit atop, a material dissonance apparent between the smooth silver surface of steel and the coarseness of stone. Each piece is designed as a functional art object, one meant to conceptually intrigue the viewer—but also to have a practical use. The plinths can be used to store books, whilst the rocks are designed to inspire philosophical thought about the weight of materials and the mining of mountains.
