When Shadows Collide
Katrin Korfmann & Jaehun Park – Bradwolff Projects
Duo Stand J23, Art Rotterdam 2026
When fleeting moments meet mediated worlds, perception shifts. Katrin Korfmann and Jaehun Park each investigate, in their own way, how we see, feel, and experience the world.
Korfmann captures ephemeral urban moments in layered photographic compositions and videos she approaches as still images, where time, movement, and human presence are suggested rather than shown literally. Park constructs digital, posthuman landscapes in which everyday objects transform into symbols of consumption, ritual, and introspection.
Though their approaches differ — stillness versus movement, focused observation versus immersive engagement — both share a focus on time, perception, and the human experience. Together, they reveal how reality, memory, and imagined futures intersect.
Katrin Korfmann (1971, Germany) grew up in Berlin and is a visual artist, researcher and lecturer based in the Netherlands. She studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, was a resident at the Rijksakademie, and is conducting doctoral research at Leiden University and the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK), where she also teaches.
She has received several awards, including the Prix de Rome (2nd prize) and the Esther Kroon Award. Her work is part of international collections and has been shown at the Nederlands Fotomuseum, Kunstmuseum Den Haag and Aperture, New York. She has also completed public commissions for Schiphol Airport, the Government Buildings Agency and the Province of Stockholm.
In 2026, she will realise "Hortus Radiologicus", a monumental permanent photographic artwork consisting of nine lightboxes for the waiting areas of the Radiology Department at the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), inspired by the Hortus Botanicus Leiden. Until 25 May, a major retrospective of her work can be seen in the LUMC gallery. Korfmann’s work is also featured at the Malta Biennale: CLEAN/CLEAR/CUT (Troy Pavilion, 11 March – 29 May 2026), under the artistic direction of Rosa Martinez and curated by Deniz Erbaz.
Jaehun Park (1986, South Korea) lives and works in Amsterdam. He studied painting at Seoul National University and earned a Master in Artistic Research at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK).
His work is included in collections such as AkzoNobel, Hyundai Motors, ING, LAM Museum, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture, and has been shown in national and international exhibitions, including CASSTL Antwerp, Beijing Biennale (2023), Museum JAN (2022) and Ulsan Art Museum. In October 2025, he was awarded the H/ART AveNEW Media Art Prize in Seoul.
In 2026, he presents his solo exhibition “Overheated Windmill” at the Grote Kerk Alkmaar (26 March – 17 May). Part of the Hallelujah! Contemporary Altarpieces series, the exhibition connects video art with contemporary societal issues within the monumental church space. The project features a video triptych in the high choir and additional works in the northern chapels, accompanied by a site-specific sound performance by Ivo Bol. On 18 April at 15:00, a special Art Talk will be held with Jaehun Park and Bart Rutten, Director of the Centraal Museum.
