Offshootdot - Comfort Station
Comfort Station is a living installation shaped by sealed femininity. Through textile and movement, it sustains silence, binds pressure, and leaves behind a trace that refuses closure.
A sealed form of femininity. Comfort Station explores the suffocating effects of historically fixed images of women.
Offshootdot, led by creative director Sangwha Yim, constructs fantasy-driven performative worlds that begin in personal memory and extend into collective resistance.
This installation rewrites an interior space stretched thin with silence, containment, and breath held too long. Nylon stockings pulled over skin: bound femininity, translucent, intimate. Tearing through this membrane becomes resistance. A return to breath. A reclaiming of movement.
The collection's name comes from euphemism and propaganda. A history of military sexual slavery. A system still awaiting justice. Survivors came from Korea, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Papua New Guinea. Only six are known to be alive today. Women described as “meat toilets.” Mechanistic. Degrading. This language persists in the digital spaces of now.
Comfort Station unfolds through 2D visuals, 3D forms, and time-based elements. What has been pushed to the margins begins to shift. The digital collection will follow. The room remains sealed. The edge stretches. The act of remembering continues.
A public media installation will be on view, while the live performance will take place from 5 to 5:30 PM for invited guests only. To atted, please RSVP by emailing Monster@offshootdot.com.
