The body becomes a note along the horizon’s score.

Heesoo Agnes Kim is a media artist whose work explores how the human body becomes a living score written by light, time, and the rhythms of the Earth. Working across video installation, performance, and site-specific projects, she approaches the horizon as a musical score on which the body moving through life appears as a single note.

Kim’s practice begins with the observation of natural phenomena such as the green ray, the blue hour, and atmospheric light shaped by the Earth’s curvature. These environments become stages where the body encounters planetary forces and attunes itself to geological and cosmic time. From this perspective, Kim develops the concept of the “Notated Body,” conceiving existence as something continuously inscribed and transformed by environment, time, and memory. In her work, the body is no longer a fixed identity but a fleeting note moving through a larger composition of light, landscape, and time.

Kim studied Fine Arts at Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design in New Zealand and received her MFA in Sculpture from Seoul National University. Her major solo exhibitions include Erodium: Bodies of Resonance (GS Caltex Yeulmaru, 2025), Score of Folds (Art Space Boan, 2024), Light Sound Dance (Sori Gallery, 2023), Blue Hour (Temi Artist Residency, 2022), and Green Ray (Daecheongho Museum of Art, 2022). Her work has been presented in exhibitions and residencies across Korea and internationally.
