Suk Choo Kim: Beyond Photography

Thonson Gallery
June 14 - July 20, 2025

“Beyond Photography” began in the early 1970s when Suk Choo Kim experimented with Polaroid SX-70 film, manipulating the emulsion to create painterly, jewel-like images. Though limited by the small format, the project planted a lasting creative seed. Decades later, after a gastric cancer diagnosis, Suk Choo returned to the concept with renewed purpose, using his studio time as therapy. This exhibition honors his 54-year journey in photography and celebrates his dedication to pushing the boundaries of the medium until his passing in 2024.
