Life and work

Oan Kim was born in Paris.

Over the years, Kim's photographic work has developed an approach to the medium that is neither strictly documentary, nor purely conceptual, re-questioning the balance of these elements with each new series he produces.[3]

Kim has had more than a dozen gallery and museum solo exhibitions since 2000 in Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Seoul, and Macao, and has taken part in many group shows around the world.

In 2009, he published Je suis le chien Pitié by Actes Sud in collaboration with Laurent Gaudé.[4][5] In 2018, he released Digital After Love with Actes Sud.

Kim has received several grants or commissions from CNAP,[6] FIACRE, SCAM, and Macao Museum of Art. In 2018 he won the Prix Swiss Life from the Fondation Swiss Life for his work on the project Digital After-Love, que restera-t-il de nos amours ?.[7]

He is the son of French-Korean painter Kim Tschang Yeul.

Kim is currently represented by Agence Myop.[8] He studied photography at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts followed by musical composition at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (CNSMDP). His musical projects are represented by ARTWORK RECORDS and PIAS.
