Answer 1

Answer:

One of Korean photographer Atta Kim’s influences is Zen Buddhism, which holds that the sacred pervades all things.

Explanation:

South Korean photographer Atta Kim (1956 -) works with the human body, exploring color photography in large format. His works are also photographed installations, where bodies are hung, crushed, compressed through acrylic plates and people confined in transparent boxes. Atta Kim conceptualizes his work through a strong influence on Zen Buddhist iconography, temporal existence, the writings of Heidegger and G. I. Gurdjieff, on the transcendental question.

Answer 2

One of Korean photographer Atta Kim’s influences is Seon Buddhism, which holds that the sacred pervades all things.

Kim has spoken of the influence on his thinking of Seon Buddhism, the Korean variant of Zen. In Seon Buddhist thought, the sacred pervades all things; the material world and sacred realities are one and the same. Seon does not recognize a split between body and soul, and thus a naked body cannot be shameful, and the Buddha is as present in wax candles as he is in a golden statue.
