《This is not 〈MMCA Hyundai Motor Series 2023: Jung Yeondoo - One Hundred Years of Travel〉, but 〈Entirely Self-Funnded Series 2024: Ho Bin Kim - One Hundred days of Travel〉》 is inspired by 《MMCA 현대차 시리즈 2023: 정연두-백년 여행기》. Unlike the MMCA exhibition, this exhibition chronicles a hundred-day self-funded journey across various cities, showcasing three video installations—two displayed on the artist's personal electronic devices (phone and laptop), and one projection. The central installation features materials from the artist's suitcase, such as clothes and items gathered during the journey. 

    The exhibition delves into the artist's thought process and the trials and tribulations of interacting with artists from diverse cultures while sleeping on their studio floors and couches due to lack of funds. It underscores the importance of investing in personal experiences over tangible assets like houses or cars. This exhibition draws inspiration from the concept of the Kunstkammer, or cabinet of curiosity. Originating in Renaissance Europe, Kunstkammers, also known as Wunderkammers (wonder-rooms), were encyclopedic collections of objects that defied categorical boundaries. These collections were not just displays of curiosity but also served as social devices for showcasing class and wealth, helping to establish and uphold societal ranks. Unlike the historical Kunstkammer, which often demonstrated affluence and status, this exhibition is driven purely by curiosity. The materials in this exhibition were gathered from the streets and studios of fellow artists during the artist's travels, reflecting a personal journey rather than an attempt to display wealth. Each item, whether a journal, a piece of clothing, or a brick from Ljubljana, tells a story and contributes to the chaotic yet meaningful tapestry of the exhibition. 

    While the collected objects may appear disordered and nonsensical at first glance, they embody the artist's ongoing process of creation and connection. The exhibition installation, set up spontaneously over a week with the help of friends and fellow artists, mirrors the unpredictable and often chaotic nature of artistic exploration. It reflects the artist's belief that even if the connections between these items and stories are not immediately apparent, they hold potential insights that may reveal themselves over time. 

    Throughout the journey, the artist engaged with artists of various ages and nationalities, each with unique concerns and perspectives on their art practices. This exhibition captures those interactions and emphasizes the importance of exploration despite financial constraints. It is a testament to the value of investing in experiences and the continuous quest to create art that resonates across cultural boundaries. 

    In essence, this modern Kunstkammer is a celebration of curiosity, a mosaic of tangible and intangible items collected during a hundred days of travel, and a reflection of the ongoing dialogue between diverse artistic communities.
