GaYoung Kim, also known as GaGa or Gabong, is a Seoul-based handcraft artist exploring contemporary aesthetics through objects and material experiments. While her early practice was shaped by extensive art education and philosophical inquiry, her current creations exist purely for their aesthetic resonance.
“Hiss… hiss… hiss…”
Beware the rattlesnake—its tail may rattle, but my hands do not.
Rejection, melancholy, despair may strike, yet I keep creating, steady and unshaken.
Beyond her artistic practice, GaYoung also works professionally as a gallery curator, bridging art-making and exhibition-making with equal passion.

Untitled, 2020
4차 산업 혁명이 오고 인간의 노동력은 기계로부터 밀려난다. 그로 인해 노동에 쓰이던 시간들이 점점 여가 시간으로 바뀐다. 이러한 현상에 인간은 생존 전략을 찾지 못한다.
그 결과 인간은 변화된 사회와 시간 속에서 방황하게 된다.
일정 시간이 지나면 뒤집어지는 모래시계 속에 다수의 인간의 머리가 위치해 있다. 지름 130m의 크기로 차가운 느낌의 메탈과 유리를 소재로 모래시계를 제작한다. 잔인하지 않고 잔잔한 느낌을 나타내는 무채색을 선택했다. 혼돈을 마주하게된 인간의 모습을 제3자의 시선으로 보여준다.
