Jinyoung Kim, Sustained (Temporary) Condition (Working Title), 2021
Quartier des spectacles, Montréal
« Jinyoung Kim’s artistic practice engages with the notion of home and sense of place in context of diasporic lived experiences and contemporary urban fabric.
Sustained (Temporary) Condition (Working title) is an installation that gathers everyday objects that had once occupied the world of transient residents of Tiohti:áke/ Montréal area, who chose to leave their places of residence for various reasons during the pandemic. COVID-19 had been a call for a return to one’s home across the provincial and national borders for some, and to others, a call for relocation to a better living situation beyond the urban area. The work paints the portrait of such transient nature of temporary city residents by looking at the objects that they have once owned but not precious enough for them to take with them. Through observing and expanding on the materiality of these mass-produced consumer objects, the installation intends to approach the idea of dwelling in the context of perceived and imposed temporary conditions »
