Forms of the Shadow 
Curated by Sunjung Kim, Organized by Secession, Vienna, September - November 2024.

The shadow is a powerful time image that embodies constant change. He never stays the same. The shadow is created by the double action of the light and the things that darken it. The shadow illustrates the movement of the sun, but its shapes determine what blocks the path of its light. The performativity of the shadow lies in its reflexivity.

Traversing both historical and geographical boundaries, Forms of the Shadow offers nuanced insights into the resilience of nature amidst human intervention as well as the enduring pursuit of hope among adversity. Sculptures, paintings, embroideries, and performances invite viewers to immerse themselves in a sensory journey that delves deep into the intricate layers of human experience, revealing the perpetual dance between light and shadow that defines our collective travels on this planet.
