Korean multidisciplinary artist Kajin Kim's solo exhibition, <Sensory Utopia: Between Nearness and Distance(感官烏托邦: 遠近之間)>, will be held from November 2 to December 7 at The Stroll Gallery by Stella A&C. Throughout her career, Kajin Kim has explored the complexities and dualities of the human desire for connection in contemporary life, mediated and decontextualized by the internet and media technologies.

The artist notes that while technological advancements have facilitated more convenient and unconstrained interpersonal connections, they have also led to extreme separation and disconnection in our direct, physical interactions. For Kim, this human deficiency translates into a longing for “shared boundaries” – a deep yearning for “contact”. The skin membrane then emerges as a boundary dividing the interior and exterior of the body, as well as a device representing the scope of the self.
