Water Does Not Soak in Rain undersöker 25 år av verk av den internationellt hyllade sydkoreanske fotografen Atta Kim. Sedan mitten av 1980-talet har Kim (född 1956) utvecklats och praktiserat en unik livsfilosofi genom en personlig syntes av läror från den tyske filosofen Martin Heidegger, den armeniske mystikern G.I. Gurdjieff och zenbuddhism. Verken som Kim producerade efter tio års formell träning i dessa läror— vilka inkluderar hans serier In der-Welt-sein (1991), Deconstruction (1995) och The Museum Project (1995-2002), där han skapade ett privat museum genom att placera gestalter i plexiglasboxar—beskrivs av honom som 

Water Does Not Soak in Rain surveys 25 years of works from the internationally-acclaimed South Korean photographer Atta Kim. Since the mid-1980s, Kim (born 1956) has evolved and practiced a singular life-philosophy through a personal synthesis of the teachings of German philosopher Martin Heidegger, Armenian mystic G.I. Gurdjieff and Zen Buddhism. The works that Kim produced after ten years of formal training in these teachings--which include his series In der-Welt-sein (1991), Deconstruction (1995) and The Museum Project (1995-2002), in which he created a private museum by placing figures in Plexiglas boxes--are described by him as "byproducts" or expressions of this Weltanschauung. The guiding motto or aphorism of the On-Air project is simply this: "all things eventually disappear." Kim's most recent series compresses 10,000 images of a city into one image, and represents the project's culmination.
