Bio
The work of kimura byol lemoine fascinates by virtue of its breadth and evolution across what seems like several lifetimes and continents: Born in South Korea, adopted in Belgium, the artist sought to reintegrate as Korean for more than a decade before finally immigrating to Montreal where ze becomes an active player in the city's queer, P.O.C, and feminist art communities.
Zer* artistic practice, which could equally be treated as activist archiving, takes the forms of calligraphy, photography, painting, poetry, video and collaboration. Across these mediums, kimura byol lemoine inquires into identity, gender, race, colorism, diaspora and immigration.
