ARARIO Collection

Works by SHIH Yung Chun from The Night In The Hotel Hallway and Hotel Hallway Toy Set series including paintings, installations, and video works, have been acquired into the collection of ARARIO MUSEUM DongMun MOTEL I, and are currently on view as part of the museum’s permanent collection display.

The Night in the Hotel is the second narrative scene from Story Packs, a video work presented in Forbidden Love, the 2025 solo exhibition of Shih Yung Chun at ARARIO GALLERY Seoul.

The exhibition title, Forbidden Love, metaphorically refers to the unfamiliar relationships formed among objects originating from disparate times and environments as they coexist on a single stage. At the same time, it reveals the irony of “forbidden” emotions—such as betrayal, rivalry, desire, and despair—that lie dormant within the bonds portrayed across the seven scenes, including maternal care, romantic affection between lovers, friendship, and the pursuit of one’s passion.
