SJMA will present the US premiere of Won Ju Lim’s multimedia installation California Dreamin’ (2002), recently acquired by the Museum. Born in Gwangju, South Korea, and raised in Los Angeles, Lim created California Dreamin’ while living abroad in Germany during a period when she was intensely homesick. Lim conceptualized California Dreamin’ as an idea of “futuristic ruins”: cinematic cityscapes that unite a ruined past with an idealized future.
