Using CGI, live-action footage and game engines, Korean artist Ayoung Kim creates a speculative multiverse that blurs the boundaries between space, time and the self.
Ernst Mo works for courier service Delivery Dancer. Every day, she transports an endless stream of parcels, following algorithmically generated routes through a labyrinthine Seoul. After she runs into an alternative version of herself, her reality slowly starts to crack – with all the attendant consequences. In her own unique style, artist Ayoung Kim creates a fascinating and pretty disturbing world.
No longer ordinary couriers, Ernst Mo and En Storm transport something far more abstract and fundamental – the “time”. Across deserts, cities and different dimensions, they join a multiverse resistance, battling the algorithm seeking to flatten time in favour of productivity. Traversing different calendar mechanics and astronomical technologies, they’re tangled in networks of space and time that contradict and collide with each other.
