Draft:Kim Hankyul (artist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kim Hankyul (born 29 March 1990, Busan, South Korea) is an artist based in Oslo, Norway. Intentionally derailing from visual linearity, Hankyul's works explore themes such as violence, alienation, colonialism, religion and media community. In Hankyul's works, sound expressions are often coupled with machine failure in an effect-cause relation. Interactions between physical materials instantly form the experience of mishearings, which recurs through the persevering dysfunction. The topics have been explored to include survival and poverty, physical and mental anomalies, natural catastrophes, wars and deaths.
