About the Artist:
Yidan Kim uses olfactory materials and sensations to create either intangible or tangible sensory imagery. The artist focuses on the sense of smell, which has been undervalued in the hierarchy of senses, exploring humans as sensory beings. Kim aims to provoke the expansion of sensory perception and cognition by emphasizing the sense of smell. Kim delves into the boundaries between human and non-human beings, and endeavours to shift the human-centric perspective to that of non-human entities, thereby focusing on non-material objects that exist beyond the realm of human perception.
