PATRICK KIM: "I attended a screening of Pablo Larraín's film, Maria 2024, at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. It was about the legendary opera singer, Maria Callas. Maria Callas was hailed by the spotlight, but there was also a dark shadow. I was intrigued by the idea of a duality and opposition between the lives of Maria, a charming woman, and Callas, a magnificent artist. It was inspiring when Maria’s art practice became part of her life, and then her entire life ended up becoming a total work of art. Callas’ theatrical performance resonated with me."
