Ayoung Kim’s 'Many Worlds Over' Unfolds at Hamburger Bahnhof
Merging AI, video, game simulations and sculpture to explore identity.
At Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, Ayoung Kim’s Many Worlds Over bends time and space, immersing visitors in a reality where past, present and future collapse into one. Running through July 20, the exhibition is Kim’s first solo show in a German museum, bringing together her work with AI, video, game simulations and sculpture to explore identity, queerness and belonging.
At its core is “Delivery Dancer,” a futuristic Seoul where a female delivery driver and her identical double move through overlapping dimensions. In this world, time loops and fractures—what should be a simple delivery route turns into a collision of alternate realities.
Kim’s virtual landscapes don’t stay on screens. The gallery itself shifts, mirroring her themes of fluidity and disorientation. Visitors navigate through layered timelines, drawn into speculative worlds that ask what it means to exist across multiple versions of reality.
