The paintings detach themselves from the wall, stepping into the room as experiential structures that can even be touched. The striking oak frames correspond with the coloration of the paintings, simultaneously turning them into physical furnishings. The image becomes an object, the object becomes a stage, and perception is intensified through movement. This expansion of painting shifts the perceptual conditions of the image itself: it is no longer solely the depiction, but also the movement of the viewers that becomes part of the experience. Kim executes recurring motifs like mirrors, window panes, or screens differently in terms of technique: she spray-paints them instead of using a brush, marking them as zones of medial reflection. They function as thresholds between inside and outside, between body and image. Privacy thus appears less as a closed-off room and more as something that unfolds across such surfaces.
