Ayoung Kim ^(KR)

Ayoung Kim explores moving images, films, texts, game simulations, and immersive massive installations and is concerned about nationhood, global resources, gender roles, antient myths, and the mystery of our built environment. From the politics of the petroleum trade to investigations into territorial imperialism and historical events that brought Korea onto the international stage, the artist often combines sounds and images to portray narratives that tell alternate stories. An overall frame or category of Ayoung Kim’s work could be Speculative fiction or simply a disruption of reality – within a frame of what could be described as techno-orientalism or Asian futurism.
