For Gallery Weekend Berlin 2026, Anton Janizewski is pleased to present Dead End, Jiyoon Chung’s first exhibition in Berlin. 

Historically, a “dead end” names a spatial condition – a street that leads nowhere, a passage cut short. Over time, the term has come to describe something less tangible yet equally pervasive: a sense of arrested movement, of directions that fail to open. In Jiyoon Chung’s exhibition at Anton Janizewski, this slippage between physical ob- struction and psychological state becomes a point of departure.
