Ju Young Kim (*1991, Seoul, KR) explores transitional states and transit zones in her sculptures and installations by combining industrial transportation modules from airplanes and cars into symbolically encoded works. She blends these with stained glass, cast metal, ceramics and plastic, thus bringing together high-tech objects with hand crafts techniques. The works are characterized by surreal elements that have been extracted from their original context and open up a new perspective on the phenomena of the globalized world. In her conceptual explorations, she examines the relativity of space and time from the perspective of a transcontinental traveler. She combines her own experiences and feelings with objects and reflects on the extent to which belonging, origin and borders shape and form identity. Landscape motifs and traditional symbolism meet industrial products and transportation systems to paint a picture of an accelerated society in which different cultural and temporal components collide.
