With 집 - how quickly leaving had been and how slow returning is, the Kasseler Kunstverein is presenting the most comprehensive multimedia work to date by German-Korean artist Surya Suran Gied. Based on autobiographical fragments, her work revolves around the reapproach to cultural imprints and the redefinition of identity - not through language, but through a decidedly visual, perceptual practice. In her expansive installation, painting, sculpture, video and objects of remembrance combine to create an immediately tangible collage that deconstructs familiar narratives and opens up space for a different, migrant-influenced way of remembering.
In the process, the long-standing areas of tension in her work between familiarity and alienation, structure and permeability, the everyday and the institutional are condensed.
