Sovann Kim's work questions our environment and its discreet poetry. It relies on ordinary and real elements around us: plants, food, minerals… Digital exploration allows him to read their structures, their textures, like an architectural code. A digital dialogue is established to reveal the substance of the subject, its metamorphosis, even its decomposition.

The "Elevations" series explores the richness of information from the so-called "staff maps" of today or from the 18th and 19th centuries, with a great abundance of graphic and objective details that allow him to express through digital research his vision of the grand landscape and particularly its complexity, while proposing new landscape territories with contours and structures close to a primitive imagination.

Thus, with the exception of the editions on "blue carbon," the limited editions of Sovann Kim are original works in their own right, and not reproductions of originals.
