Kim Sooja was born in 1957 in Taegu (Korea). She lives and works in New York and has participated to the 2002 Lyon Biennial, Partages d'exotismes. Her work is deeply rooted in her own culture, and presents the essence of Korean life through traditional fabrics, the bojaghi, accompanying the Korean families throughout life. Kim Sooja inserts clothes or used linen into her intallations, which she sews, alters, tears up to mention the persistence of the "feminine presence". Her artistic work relies on feminism and deals with the most universal side of women condition. Even if the work Laundry Woman suggests a tangible link between the artist and Far East, it is marked by nomadism, since Kim Sooja looks to different cultures. This approach can also be noticed in her videos.
