Ayoung Kim: Ficção científica como ferramenta política
The latest exhibition at Videobrasil Online showcases the work of South Korean artist Ayoung Kim, whose innovative pieces blend science fiction with critical reflections on history and speculative futures. Kim's earlier works, including “Every North Star Part 1 and 2,” explore themes of Western neocolonialism in Busan, highlighting the life of female jockey Jin Hee Park. In the sequel, “Please Return to Busan Port,” she critiques the global competitiveness stemming from the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Her 2014 piece, “Zepheth,” addresses geopolitics and ecology, while “Porosity Valley” (2017) examines identity in a post-human context amidst environmental disaster.
