Kim Yesul: Contemporary Mixed Media and Video Artist

Kim Yesul is a prominent South Korean artist born in 1989, whose practice sits at the intersection of video art, installation, and contemporary mixed media. Educated at the Korea National University of Arts with an MFA in Intermedia Art, she has established a unique voice within the international art scene, working between Seoul and Brussels. Kim Yesul’s work often provides interpretive takes on communities and mundane daily life, presented through a third-person perspective that bridges reality and artistic documentation. Her significant projects include 'Cotton 100%', 'Ironclad Fragger'—an exploration of ideology through robot competition—and the theatrical exhibition 'Dinosavr', a collaboration with Rémi Lambert that examines the synchronous relationship between childhood and prehistoric artifacts. Other notable works like 'Art Class' (2021) delve into her personal history and the educational influence of parents on creative perception. Kim Yesul has exhibited extensively at prestigious venues, including the Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA), Sehwa Museum, and Doosan Gallery. Her multi-disciplinary approach utilizes materials ranging from video and audio to cement and car bonnets, reflecting a deep interest in the preservation of moments and the recursive nature of memory and time.
