Yihwa Kim
About
Yihwa Kim draws inspiration from places and weaves narratives that offer unique approaches to societal stereotypes. She examines various forms of micro-societies and the individuals within them from a contemporary perspective, creating site-specific installations and performances. Her work is characterised by an immersive approach, which interprets exhibition spaces theatrically and locating the audience’s gaze and movement with intention. By incorporating elements of immersive theater into her exhibitions, Kim creates interactive experiences that deeply engage audiences with the environment and the story being told.
Recently, Kim has been experimenting with metaphorical works based on research into the relationships between the environment and the individual, as well as between the city and the individual. This exploration reflects a deepening interest in how these complex interconnections shape personal and collective experiences. Through her artwork, she seeks to unravel and interpret the intricate dynamics between people and their surroundings.
