Evening Peak Time Is Back , a 20-meter-long, 3-meter-tall wallpaper installation occupying both walls of the exhibition hall on the second floor at Gallery Hyundai, was created in collaboration with the webtoon artist ‘1172’. To expand the worldview of Ernst Mo and En Storm and their complicated and nuanced relationship, Kim deploys the GL (Girls’ Love) culture, a sub-genre in web novels and webtoons focusing on the romance between women. In the world of Delivery Dancer’s Sphere, Ernst Mo and En Storm show various aspects of the relationship, such as antagonism, compassion, and affection, which cannot coexist in the same space and time. These are the states of affairs of possible worlds. These are the ways in which two entities may exist (the ways they could be), and furthermore the ways they could stand to each other.
By employing the visual elements of GL, considered peripheral and niche in Korea’s subcultural realm, the artist has created a speculative and subversive visual narrative for female delivery riders.
