Sylbee Kim is born in 1981 in Seoul, South Korea. She lives and works in Berlin since her graduation in 2005 at Korean National University of Arts (KNUA) majoring in art theory and fine art. From 2005 to 2010 she studied at UdK Berlin under Maria Vedder, Christiane Möbus and Hito Steyerl.
Her videos concentrate on a possible way of a non-lineal narrative structure which belongs to a firmly defined realm of concept, that reveals itself discretely through observations and appropriation of popular media such as internet and other products of culture industry. Questions of identity and the phenomena of its visual representation and consumption in any sense is relevant in reading her elaborate reconstruction of such structures.
