Opening Reception Thursday, August 7th, 6-8pm
Outside the train window, the world drifts by—telephone wires rising and falling, buildings folding into each other, landscapes in constant flux. You watch and then stop watching. Your thoughts move elsewhere—into memory, imagination, or simply nowhere at all. When you return to yourself, time has passed, unnoticed.
—Judy Suh
DIMIN is pleased to present A Window of Time, a projection-based kinetic installation by multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker Judy Suh. Known for her immersive storytelling and innovative use of cinematic technology, Suh invites viewers into a playful meditation on the in-between—the transient spaces where most of life unfolds.
The piece began with a quiet realization that a large part of life is spent in motion, between one place and the next. Not quite arriving, not quite departing, but suspended in the middle. This in-between state, often overlooked or discounted, holds a kind of intimate presence, a texture of everyday life that’s both ephemeral and expansive. Filmed over years of commuting and traveling across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, Suh transforms the gallery into a cinematic landscape of movement. A model train loops on an illuminated track, carrying a small projector that casts fragments of passing scenes on the surround walls—fleeting impressions of architecture, countryside, strangers in cities, and drifting inner monologue. The projected images blur the lines between her personal memory, collective experience, and momentary perception. “This is not about the places we go, but how we move through them.” The artist speculates, “Perhaps the in-between is where we spend most of our lives.”
Judy Suh’s work consistently redefines how we experience narrative by physically embedding viewers within the medium. Whether through shadow-play with archival imagery or projection-mapped landscapes, she crafts deeply felt, space-activating installations that blend the digital and the analog, the cinematic and the sculptural. A Window of Time continues Suh’s exploration of temporal and spatial perception, where time doesn’t stop, but slows enough to notice.
Based in Brooklyn and Creative Director at the design studio Journey, Suh’s background spans film, fine art, and immersive experience design. Her work has been exhibited internationally at iLight Singapore, Wassaic Project (Wassaic, NY), Currents New Media Festival (Santa Fe, NM), Les Dominicains de Haute Alsace (France), and more. She holds a BA from Northwestern University and studied Expanded Cinema at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. Her training in projection technology at the Banff Centre and her early education in South Korea's alternative schools have shaped a practice grounded in experimentation, memory, and multidimensional storytelling. Previously exhibited at Platform BUNKER in Copenhagen, Denmark, A Window of Time at DIMIN marks Suh’s first full scale exhibition in New York.
SUMMER HOURS: DIMIN is open Tuesday to Friday, 10am to 6pm through August.
