HOST The Stroll gallery | Stella A&C VENUE The Stroll gallery, Unit 504, 5F, Vanta Industrial Centre, 21-23 Tai Lin Pai Road, Kwai Chung DATE 2 Novmber (Saturday) 2024 – 7 December (Saturday) 2024 HOURS Tuesday– Saturday, 11am – 7pm PARTICIPATING ARTIST Kajin Kim About the Exhibition Korean multidisciplinary artist Kajin Kim's solo exhibition will be held at The Stroll Gallery by Stella A&C from November 2 to December 7. Through her diverse multimedia works, Kajin Kim has explored the complexity of the human desire to connect with one another in the everyday lives of modern individuals, who have become disembodied and mediated by the internet and media technology. The artist notes that while technological advancements have facilitated more convenient and unconstrained interpersonal connections, they have also led to extreme separation and disconnection in our direct, physical interactions. For Kim, this human deficiency translates into a longing for reaching mutual boundaries – 'touch'. The 'skin membrane' then emerges as a boundary dividing the interior and exterior of the body, as well as a device representing the scope of the self. Kim gives visual and spatial form to this concept of contact. She casts organic-looking images surrounded by membranes in translucent silicone or transfers them onto resin surfaces, installs them on thermoformed transparent acrylic. The light designed to penetrate these transparent surfaces creates and connects the dual spaces of the interior and exterior, penetrating and connecting to form a new sense of space. Yet, despite the distinct nature of this contact, an unbridgeable sense of distance lingers. While surfaces may touch, they do not truly meet; objects may be held, yet their essence remains unfelt. Through images that evoke a sense of overlapping rather than connection, Kim lays bare the profound loneliness and yearning that emerge from this closeness. This encapsulates the deep emptiness often experienced by modern individuals, with the tender imagery in her work serving as both a heartfelt tribute and a soothing balm. This exhibition marks Kajin Kim's first solo show in Hong Kong, where she aims to express the ideal sensory experience she envisions and the new forms of connection and exchange that can be attained through the senses. We hope the audience will be reminded of the physical sense of touch through the artist's delicately designed visual experience, and have the opportunity to explore new tactile and emotional connections. KajinKim (b.1992) (IG Link: @kajinkim / Website: kajin.kim) Kajin Kim is a Korean multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Seoul, Korea. She utilizes printed matter, moving image and installation to explore the complexities of mediation in the contemporary experience of physical disembodiment in our ever-changing society, especially in terms of the internet and media inundation. Disparate projections, transparent materials, iridescent surfaces and screens resonate with each other in her installations, creating an environment where images are touched, reflected, and looked through. Her work is a rumination on how, both in virtual and physical space, we as humans yearn for connection and intimacies without always being able to find it.
