In Christine Sun Kim’s site-specific wall painting ‘Oh My Oh Me’, repeating notations that indicate “me” (with a finger) and “my” (with the palm of a hand) are rendered in American Sign Language (ASL). The two words are signed with the same motion but require a different handshape. The notations include motion lines as seen in comics; the bursts indicate the action of a finger or a palm hitting the chest, or in this case the surface of the Museum’s walls. For Kim, the immersive nature of this mural is essential. The viewer is surrounded by the experience and action of ASL. This contemplation of self (my; me) comes from the artist’s discovery of the term “narrative plentitude” coined by Pulitzer-Prize winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen.
