Lecture: Dimension of a Needle

Kimsooja is an internationally acclaimed Korean-born (1957-) multi-media artist who lives and works in New York, Paris, and Seoul. Her work combines performance, video and installation, addressing issues of the displaced self.

Kimsooja brings together a conceptual and structural investigation of performance through immobility that inverts the notion of the artist as the predominant actor. Besides taking us on her journey, Kimsooja’s work is an invitation to question our existence, and the major challenges we are facing in this era.
