Ayoung Kim: Many Worlds Over
In the organizer's words:
Ayoung Kim's (born 1979 in Seoul, Korea) first solo exhibition in a German museum spans the last years of her artistic practice and explores concepts of time, reality, belonging and queerness. Using artificial intelligence, video, game simulations and sculpture, Ayoung Kim creates expansive fictional universes with their own temporal and spatial laws. Her works are interconnected through speculative narratives that are nevertheless connected to the real world we live in. The viewers themselves become both spectators and players who can influence the narrative from their own perspective.
For her exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof, Kim draws on a cycle of works that follows a delivery driver and her identical double in a fictional, futuristic Seoul. In her "Delivery Dancer" universe, an infinite number of possible worlds collide, in which time runs cyclically and non-linearly. Her protagonists overcome the boundaries of possible realities and create overlaps between times and spaces. Ayoung Kim's exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof not only allows the audience to immerse themselves in Kim's virtual landscapes, but also extends them into the physical museum space, completely transforming the topology of the exhibition spaces.
