Beginning with ‘Vomiting of the Past’(2020) from 2020, Jaewon Kim’s solo exhibition <Romantic Fantasy> continues to explore the intimate relationship between fictional characters H and J. Though it may not be possible to fully grasp the nuances of their relationship at first, viewers can devise various narratives by piecing together scenes from the main video ‘Spit and Swallow’(2021) and photographs depicting the two narrator’s daily life. Birds, fish, and plants repeatedly appear in Kim’s works. At times, they become objects of past memories; while other times, they become subjects of complex emotions that cannot be fully expressed in words. With patience and attentiveness, viewers will be able to find their own fantastical way through the seemingly distant story of J, a person living with HIV, and H, the virus itself.
