Mi-Hyun Kim was born in Seoul, South Korea, and has been living in Paris, France for the last twenty-five years. Conciliating two continents while remaining mindful of what separates them, Mi-Hyun Kim operates on the threshold. A space in which she confronts her artistic challenge.
I wanted to show the small size of the grape-pickers in the vineyards, seemingly lost in a sea of vines. It is hard to imagine how they managed to harvest everything! –Mi-Hyun Kim
I particularly like this picture because it represents for me the perfectionism and dedication shown by the grape-pickers. They are so focused on their task, so intent on not forgetting any grapes, that they might actually go for the same cluster as one of their team-mates! –Mi-Hyun Kim
I like the theatrical ambiance in this picture, with the silhouettes of grape-pickers like Chinese shadow-puppets (as they say in France) against the background of a wall of mist looking ready to sweep over the vineyards. –Mi-Hyun Kim
