The world in stories

Kim combines video, music, light, performance, drawing, and sculpture in the exhibition space, utilizing a variety of media to change the audience's perspective. In this way, the Honolulu-based artist develops a unique narrative approach to themes such as migration and immigration, translation, and renewal.

“How can one address the issues beyond a national border, let alone the border of one’s own skin?” (Sung Hwan Kim)

The world in stories
In his works, Sung Hwan Kim (*1975, Seoul) weaves multifaceted stories in the manner of a storyteller, using folklore, myths, gossip, and rumors as a means to access his complex installations.

Kim combines video, music, light, performance, drawing, and sculpture in the exhibition space, utilizing a variety of media to change the audience's perspective. In this way, the Honolulu-based artist develops a unique narrative approach to themes such as migration and immigration, translation, and renewal.

“How can one address the issues beyond a national border, let alone the border of one’s own skin?” (Sung Hwan Kim)

As an exhibition designer, Sung Hwan Kim creates a unique architectural environment for his installations that illuminate the theme of “Borders” in nuanced ways and explore various states of subjectivity.

The world in stories
In his works, Sung Hwan Kim (*1975, Seoul) weaves multifaceted stories in the manner of a storyteller, using folklore, myths, gossip, and rumors as a means to access his complex installations.

Kim combines video, music, light, performance, drawing, and sculpture in the exhibition space, utilizing a variety of media to change the audience's perspective. In this way, the Honolulu-based artist develops a unique narrative approach to themes such as migration and immigration, translation, and renewal.

“How can one address the issues beyond a national border, let alone the border of one’s own skin?” (Sung Hwan Kim)

As an exhibition designer, Sung Hwan Kim creates a unique architectural environment for his installations that illuminate the theme of “Borders” in nuanced ways and explore various states of subjectivity.

The exhibition organized together with the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven is the largest solo exhibition of Sung Hwan Kim in Europe to date. It features complex installations by the Korean artist, including many video and performance works created in musical collaboration with musician and composer David Michael DiGregorio (alias dogr).

The world in stories
In his works, Sung Hwan Kim (*1975, Seoul) weaves multifaceted stories in the manner of a storyteller, using folklore, myths, gossip, and rumors as a means to access his complex installations.

Kim combines video, music, light, performance, drawing, and sculpture in the exhibition space, utilizing a variety of media to change the audience's perspective. In this way, the Honolulu-based artist develops a unique narrative approach to themes such as migration and immigration, translation, and renewal.

“How can one address the issues beyond a national border, let alone the border of one’s own skin?” (Sung Hwan Kim)

As an exhibition designer, Sung Hwan Kim creates a unique architectural environment for his installations that illuminate the theme of “Borders” in nuanced ways and explore various states of subjectivity.
