About The Artwork

나를 숨기다 20 x 20 x 15 (H)cm glass slumping, Silver Mirror Plating, soda glass 2014 About the work ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ KIM MIN-KI My work was started from my experience and the life which I have felt. I always pursue perfect things but I ’m not. This work is the result of process that questioned and answered to myself over and over about imperfect existence. These works are expressed mainly by the bodies transshaped through the atypical objet or by human body shape hidden somewhere. Through these shapes, the artist is trying to face intentionally the things that people hesitate to face directly. I wish I face my imperfection frankly without any lie. The reason why I am working continuously is that I hope the attendances who enjoy my work by throwing off their masks which can hide themselves as the persona in the way of freedom and admit and even love themselves. And this is not the end. I would like to explore myself by showing my performances with meeting the audiences over and over again. Note ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ I'm a normal person who can be shown in a street. Now I'm looking at my twisted face reflected in the mirror. Surprisingly, the mirror reflects my inside that I have hid. I love beautiful things. I would like to follow the things so beautiful involuntarily. I am afraid of looking at my twisted inside. My weakness can make me turned my eyes from my ugly part, searched and discussed about the distortion of others. I have been trying to live as a standard of society like a tree in a forest which is made up of people . But I am afraid of thinking that does not be perfect. It is also anxiety because I am worried if my ugly appearance is discovered. The fear of suffering in society has been made me getting smaller and smaller.

I’m an artist based in South Korea. I’ve been creating art works since 2006 and currently am focusing on installations as well as both 2D and 3D works. My recent work has been focusing on the inner world of humans who are trying to protect themselves and overcome the scars from each individual’s feeling of loneliness in the stone cold society and one’s own incompleteness. Having sympathy toward the ones who are going through a tough and confusing time, I wish to accept my own struggles that I may have been avoiding to face. I’d like to take this opportunity to take the time to look back and reflect on myself.
