Se Young Yim

Statement

I am making sculptures and paintings. I focus on vulnerable physicality in space and relationships. I would like to express that every object has a skin and needs space. And I believe this can be a universal principle regardless of whether it is a living thing or an object. How can people make room for each other? I explore the body, which is temporarily located both conceptually and physically.

GlogauAIR Project

My recent project is two tracks of sculptures with found objects and paintings using A.I. program. The keywords are intimacy, dissolvable, temporary physicality in place. With these keywords, I tried to capture the loneliness inherent in humans through experimentation with images created in mechanical ways or randomness which can be encountered on the street.

In Berlin, I can be inspired by new random objects from different environments. Through GlogauAIR residency, I will explore the ways to combine painting and sculpture into one by expanding my artistic practice. So far, I am doing quick mold casting of found objects, and assembling them in an abstract way. Also their architectural structure will be related to paintings.
