Kim Dong-kyu’s work, now showing at The Green Gallery, is composed of remnants generated through everyday acts of consumption and the accumulation of disposable materials. Based in Los Angeles and working as both a fashion designer and textile artist, he attends to how these objects—destined for immediate disposal—quietly record our paths of movement, traces of choice, formed tastes, and the emotions produced within structures of capitalist desire.
Constructed through hand stitching and patchwork, his practice functions as a performative gesture that overturns the short temporality of consumption and the prescribed fate of disposable matter. After Consumption, What Remains Asks reveals how this practice moves beyond reuse, operating instead as a means of making visible the densely woven systems of consumption.
