An artist of many forms, Minouk Lim creates works that move between and across the boundaries of different genres and media—including music, video, installation, writing and performance—as a means of revealing and amplifying marginalised narratives within the context of South Korea's rapid democratisation and industrialisation. Born in 1968 in Daejeon, South Korea, Lim has herself witnessed the rapid changes of her surroundings—as explored in the video work Portable Keeper (2009), where musician Kwon Byungjun wanders through forgotten and dilapidated areas of old towns, highlighting the societal alienation inherent to modern transformation.
