The Archive of Warmth
By Kyunghan Bae · KR
The Archive of Warmth places a repaired bowl before shelves of similar vessels. Red knots and traces of handling turn an imperfect object into a record of care. Repair does not erase damage; it lets the object remain useful and keeps its history visible. The work asks what deserves to be preserved when new images and objects can be produced so easily. Its answer rests in the ordinary decision to mend, keep and use again.
