Wonyoung Shim
About
Wonyoung Shim is an artist based in London and Seoul, working across installation, sculpture and sound. Her practice focuses on subtle disruptions in everyday perception. Through spatial tension and non-linear composition, she creates immersive environments that loosen the automatisms of sensing.
She is interested in the unstable boundary between clarity and ambiguity, drawing out sensations that lie beneath conscious awareness and giving shape to experiences that have yet to be verbalised. In doing so, she reveals invisible and inaudible layers, allowing a slowed, attentive state to emerge at the edge of perception.
Her work traces fleeting states that resist immediate understanding, offering a series of perceptual situations that encourage reflection on the act of noticing itself.
