After graduating Korea National University of Arts, Sylbee Kim entered Universität der Künste Berlin where she earned the Meisterschueler degree for experimental media art. Since 2005 she has been travelling between Berlin and Seoul presenting videos, installations, digital prints and performances. While the media she uses are diverse, each work is based on a solid conceptual thinking, which is then fragmented in parts which together form a non-linear narrative. Sylbee Kim offers a critical interpretation of our experiences with the cultural industry and the mass media, including the Internet, with its tendency to store data with neither limit nor discretion. She delves into the issue of identity and politics that underlie it all. Sylbee Kim has held solo exhibitions at Insa Art Space, Space O’NewWall and Project Space SARUBIA. She has also participated in group exhibitions organized by SeMA and MMCA in Seoul, as well as institutions abroad such as Neuer Berliner Kunstverein; Asia Art Archive, Hong Kong; Goethe-Institut, New York; and Real DMZ Project, Cherwon.
