공하임, Gong Haim

Gong Haim (b.1995) is a composer / sound artist / film maker based between Berlin and Seoul. Having studied physics, he has maintained a sustained interest in the structures of theories that explain systems and in the underlying principles beyond them. Grounded in this perspective, he has developed music and sound-based practices across diverse media including film, performance, exhibition, and dance. His work explores moments in which abstract sensations are transformed into concrete experiences through listening, while also examining how music and sound permeate moving images and become abstracted within media such as film, video, and dance. He is particularly interested in the sensory experiences produced by the materiality of analog media, revealing relationships between memory and perception, media and the body through temporal characteristics such as repetition, accumulation, degradation, and resonance.
