600 Minutes: Magenta (2025)

This film was part of Kyulim Kim’s time-based installation 600 Minutes (2025), based on the restoration of Rembrandt's The Night Watch. The painting darkened over time due to pigment discoloration. Similarly, 1950s–70s film footage often fades to magenta as yellow and cyan dyes deteriorate. This color loss reflects both the material fragility of film and the fading of social infrastructures once captured in it.
