Yelim Ki collects and reassembles discarded industrial materials and mechanical objects, transforming them into light fixtures responsive to the sonic environment.
Through this process, static forms become living, time-based media.

Ki combines this sculptural practice with filmmaking, experimenting with the theme of technological obsolescence and the paradox of permanence—how digital memory deteriorates while physical waste accumulates eternally.
Ki’s first short film as co-director, Wunderkammer 10.0 (2021), received the Special Jury Prize at Jeonju International Film Festival (2022).
Her work has been presented internationally at MMCA Seoul, e-flux Film & Video Festival, Instrument Inventors Initiative (iii), Kurzfilmfestival Köln (KFFK), EXiS (Seoul Experimental Film and Video Festival), Asia Culture Center (ACC) Cinematheque, and more.

SELECTION OF FILMS & COLLECTIVE PROJECTS
“The Cell”
2025
Full documentation and info
The Cell explores the relationship between divine communication and technological immersion in the contemporary media landscape. It draws parallels between the speech-like fluency of glossolalia and the subtle, often subliminal ways that screen technologies infiltrate perception.
“Princess”
2024
Full documentation and info
In a world where everyone lives forever, Xana struggles to recall his memory. An old tape machine becomes both an investigative tool and an obsolete artifact, capturing his collapsing sense of self. Synthetic vocal layers, trained on the noise of inanimate objects, reveal the brutal erosion of the human presence. Technological advances fail to stabilize consciousness, leaving only fleeting fragments of memory.
“Gnome”
2023
99betaHUD (Jihyoung Han, Yelim Ki)
Full documentation and info
Gnome is an audio-visual poetry that quotes the words of an extinct earth spirit to tell the story of an alternative life in an off-grid community.
“Wunderkammer10.0”
2021
Co-Directed by
Inwoo Jung, Soyun Park, Yelim Ki
Full documentation and info
In a virtual city of the future, the operating system Wunderkammer 10.0, created to provide a more stable and fast autonomous driving service, crawls map data and learns by itself. Faced with the limitations of data accessibility within a specific timeline, Wunderkammer finds a long-expired travel blog on the internet.
