Kim Woong Yong lives and works in Seoul, S. Korea. He explores socio-cultural relationships between memory and technology that mediate cracks, resistance, and recovery within an organic context. In doing so, he reveals moments of immense power and profound insignificance amidst ruins and decay, then focuses on the new stories and relationships they generate. By weaving together the residues of records—voices, masks, regulations, gestures, scripts —he invokes them through performance, video installations, film, soundtracks and other mediums, inquiring into how potential takes root in the present.

We live our lives made up of a great quantity of isolated instants. So as to be lost at the heart of a multitude of things. (From the Double Dream of Spring, 1970.)
