THE PROGRAMME.
Iden Sungyoung Kim’s exhibition explores nuclear history, memory and South Korean slang through performance, video and a comedy-show format.
Iden Sungyoung Kim’s Lunch? I Said LAUNCH! explores nuclear testing, Cold War history, South Korean slang and collective memory. The work weaves autobiographical experience and commemorative sequences into a comedy-show genre, and includes Hypocenter 1945–2025, a performance with a hazmat-suited figure distributing layered drinks whose names reference nuclear bomb research and the B52 bomber. A video shows a glittering sea and a mushroom cloud.
