“Forbidden Love ” is a fragment of desire and memory blossoming upon an old puppet-theatre stage. Opening on October 16 and running through December 6 at Arario Gallery Seoul, the exhibition unfolds a multilayered narrative of fantasy through sculptural series reminiscent of puppet-theatre sets, further expanded into painting and video.
Seven distinct scenes—kitchen, hallway, bedroom, street, bar, stage, and living room—are composed of old toys, product packaging, and childhood memories. The exhibition title, Unruly Love, serves as both a metaphor for the unfamiliar relationships formed among objects from different times and contexts, and an expression of the desire and betrayal that lurk beneath the surface of love.
