The exhibition FICTIONS is a duo exhibition conceived by Namju Lee and Jisu Kim at the off-space gallery Nodepressionroom, Munich. This showcase, between Thu. 07 March and Sun. 17 March 2024, presents new paintings and installations by the two artists, produced in the beginning of 2024.

Jisu Kim, on the other hand, concentrates on the transformability and the materiality of the artwork through the fictitious Propagation Project. Throughout this ongoing analogical process, she made three generations of the series. In this exhibition, she showcases the trace of the first generation in the form of an installation and the second generation as a series of paintings and digitized writings.

The first generation is based on the proximity between the object and the physical and emotional body of the artist. Moving back and forth between fragmentation and representation of the reference images, she ceaselessly tries to reach the level of regeneration.

In the next step, she painted the second generation by mixing the form of the first generation with the colour palette taken from snapshots and screenshots of her everyday life. At the same time, she photographed the first generation and shared the images with two writers in France and the USA, each of whom was commissioned to write an experimental piece.
