Whisper Down the Lane

Jaewon Kim starts the series with a multi-part wall piece entitled Insect Hotel (2024). His works are characterised by the transformation of everyday and culturally or historically charged objects with the help of 3D printing technology. Through the digital translation process, he reinterprets the nature of the objects, assimilates them to one another and in that way blurs the boundary between the unfamiliar and the familiar, allowing for a variety of associations. As the title suggests, the new work is formally inspired by an insect hotel, which in the context of the Kunsthaus foyer becomes a metaphor for the space as a temporary and communal base for a host of people and disciplines.
