b. 1979, Seoul
Lives and works in Seoul
Ayoung Kim weaves reality anew through a tapestry of hybrid narratives while integrating geopolitics, mythology, technology and futuristic iconography in her work. The outcomes of synthesized narratives result in far-reaching speculation, establishing connections between biopolitics and border controls, the memories of stones and virtual memories, and ancestral origins and imminent futures in the forms of video, moving image, virtual reality, game simulation, installation, performance, and texts.
Kim’s works have been presented at Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2025); Mori Art Museum, Tokyo (2025); ACMI, Melbourne (2024); MoMA, New York (2024); M+, Hong Kong (2024); Sharjah Biennial (2023); Ars Electronica, Linz (2023); Berlin International Film Festival (2020); Gwangju Biennale (2018); Palais de Tokyo (2016) and the Venice Biennale (2015), among others. Kim has also received the LG Guggenheim Award from The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation (2025); ACC Future Prize, National Asian Culture Center, Korea (2024); and the Golden Nica Award, Prix Ars Electronica, Austria (2023), among others.
