Mimi Son is one of two artists from the collective Kimchi and Chips based in Seoul. Her artistic practice is characterised by a meticulous attention to detail and a willingness to embrace uncertainty and chance through the introduction of natural phenomena, moving lights and shifting perspectives. These are often presented as installations which focus on momentary happenings, wherein the separation between what is real and what is virtual collapses and blends.

She has a deep curiosity about the many juxtapositions that define our world, including the relationship between life and death, day and night, existence and absence, the individuals and the collective, wealth and poverty, dreams and reality. She is also a dedicated teacher and mentor, giving lectures and workshops to younger artists, whilst also writing scenarios for design research, and serving as an artistic director for exhibitions.

As a member of Kimchi and Chips, she has exhibited her work with a number of international institutions including the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, ZKM Center for Art and Media, Somerset House, Ars Electronica and Onassis Foundation.
