With “addresses without names”, Ju Young Kim continues her engagement with states of transition, mobility, and belonging, while turning more closely toward the intimate and bodily experience of temporary spaces. Airplanes, trains, waiting rooms, hotels, and temporary apartments situate the body for a limited time without becoming permanent points of reference.
Kim focuses on the peculiar familiarity of these interiors, which is largely shaped by their visual language. Seat fabrics or curtains can feel immediately familiar without being tied to a specific memory. She describes this condition as “anonymous familiarity”, the recognition of something whose origin can no longer be clearly located.
Alongside works from “AEROPLASTICS”, Kim develops a group of glass works for her first solo show at the Munich gallery, based on textile structures and patterns found in both public transportation and domestic settings.
