“If Different Day is a Same Day… is a cumulative installation of paintings, film, images and objects by Korean-American artist Sunny Kim. The exhibition was conceived through our long-distance conversations -- she was in New York, going through a difficult lockdown, while I was in Seoul. We have collaborated on two reenactment performances, Still Life (2012) and Landscape (2014). If Different Day is a Same Day … became a rumination upon ways to make a seemingly-impossible exhibition real, leading us into an unpredictable journey of temporality. In a time when the artist felt continuing her work an unfeasible task, I wanted to convey a space that felt as if we were traversing the time she spent on her painting instead of displaying her paintings through an exhibition. If Different Day is a Same Day … exposes these points of inconsistency where we contend with a present that unveils a world made unfamiliar.
