b. 1990, South Korea
Jinhee Kim (b.1990, born in Seoul, lives in Berlin) captures unrealistically approaching moments in everyday life and reconstructs them into imaginary images. She elaborately arranges characters and spaces on the screen and delicately adjusts the relationship between light and colour to set up parts of life on the stage. Also, she extends the realm of painting to a three-dimensional space, like a director who acts out the stage. Illuminated characters sit blankly, staring into the air or spend a routine day nonchalantly, but the scene creates a magnificent mood with the fantastic background and dramatic colour. As such, Kim overturns the stereotype of the described object and stimulates an unfamiliar sense by combining light images with strict classical painting forms and expressions.
