Kim Hankyul: Flight of the Bumblebee

In the exhibition <Flight of the Bumblebee>, Kim Hankyul presents a machinic remake of a classic music piece written by Rimsky-Korsakov with the same title. Taking a musical sheet as a departuring point, the flow of bumblebees is realistically constructed through 54 motors.
