Min Kyung Kim explores social phenomena and power structures that shape behavior and perception. She focuses on socio-cultural constructs such as norms, rules, conventions, gender and class across cultural contexts and critically examines the interplay of social myths, prejudice, and discrimination within and outside the art world. Her practice crosses artistic and educational activities, including exhibitions, research and curatorial projects and workshops. Through ‘experimental interventions’ involving the deconstruction and reconstruction of video, installation, performance, and photography, she makes these constructs tangible and questionable. At the center of her practice is the questioning of “being human in a system” in a multifaceted way.

김민경은 시각예술가로서 다양한 문화적 맥락에 존재하는 규범, 규칙, 관습, 성별, 계급과 같은 사회문화적 구성에 관심을 갖고 개인의 행동과 인식을 형성하는 사회현상과 권력 구조를 탐구합니다. 비디오, 설치, 퍼포먼스, 사진을 기반으로 한 그녀의 작업은 전시, 연구, 기획 프로젝트, 워크숍 등 예술과 교육 활동을 넘나듭니다. 해체 및 재구성 과정을 사용하는 ‘실험적 개입’을 통해 그녀는 예술계 안팎에 존재하는 사회적 통념, 편견, 차별 등의 상호 작용을 비판적으로 검토하고 그 구조를 가시화함으로써 “시스템 속의 인간”이라는 개념에 다각적인 방식으로 의문을 제기합니다.
