Sunny Kim

Sunny Kim's work reconstructs emotions of loss and displacement into images, blurring the boundaries between reality and illusion. As a metaphor for the immigrant experience and a presentation of alternate history, Kim often employs ‘Girls in Uniform’ as a symbolic image to explore memories both experienced and imagined. They serve as the visual basis from which certain emotional and sensory ‘landscapes’ emerge. The ‘landscape’ becomes a subjective performance and a world-building exercise around the ‘girls’ inhabiting the scene.
