Biography

Yumi Song (KR/JP)
Artist ,Curator, Writer, Lives in Tokyo, Japan

She makes installations. " Unlike how artists or architects may draw a complete plan of the tower of Babel, I cannot instruct on what is the future of our ideal, or to change where people are heading by drawing. However, if each one of us can recognize ourselves, even if the vector of one's foot can move slightly, then, there'll be a big change in the word ahead. I believe Art and Architecture can contribute this small, yet important accomplishment to the world. "
