About
Minjeong Kim is an artist based in Seoul and London working with various body installation work.She explores the depth of human existence, both individually and socially, by interweaving and overlapping different sensations that morph over time. Through themes of barriers, symbolizing, and the ephemeral nature of existence, she aims to unveil the complex tapestry of societal relationships.Starting from these body experiential senses also ends on the body understanding as the jewellery itself questioning what the jewellery is beyond the adornment for this current society.
The ”Fragile Barrier“ project explore not only the behaviours themselves but also the emotions and reasons behind them. Most significant reason of compulsive behaviour stems from increased sensitivity to various unexpected sensory stimuli, particularly touch. To protect myself mentally, I began to construct barriers, which repetitively shown as compulsive behaviours. Through this project, I tried to reveal these barriers one by one, expressing the process and my uncomfortable emotions through my work. The ”Fragile Barrier“ project consists of three pieces, each showcasing the gradual progression as these protective barriers start to integrate with the external world. This progression reflects the journey of confronting and expressing my own discomfort and sensitivities.
