Grace Kim lives and works in Brooklyn. Of this project, Love Hotel, she says, ‘ I have created portraits of unmade beds at love hotels in Seoul, South Korea. Lovers are known to use the hotels for secret affairs, I photograph the beds just after they have departed. My photographs are personal reflections on the passage of time and the ephemeral nature of love. Absence inspires imagination and nostalgia, and what is the secret or forbidden seems genuine in a way, because it actively questions and resists the status quo, rather than remaining complacent’. She has an upcoming show at Melanie Flood Projects in Brooklyn.

There is an allusion to the human presence, is a sort of melancony.
Nice work.
