A performance work, ‚Kim’s Instant‘ introduces a Korean street food called Tteokbokki. Via cooking it, the process of production method of ingredient(rice cake) with historical and cultural data interweaves together. And it became a consensus of provoking fantasy, speculation, and naivity that brings people to face with how the Asian food transformed into something ‚hybrid‘ in western society. 

In addition, the objects and digital images produced by Jaewon Kim with a 3D printer contains not only reminiscent of mass-produced rice cake materials, but also an act of connecting the cooking and his sculptures. Moreover, 3D video produced by Dong-chan Kim shows the digital language and fragments used as the material of rice cake for Tteokbokki inside of digital.
