Kim Winder - As an installation artist, I create moving images where interaction plays an important role. My work explores the human psyche, social issues, and taboo subjects, often reflecting on themes of time, change, and growth. Contrast is essential in my practice: I bring fragility into dialogue with rawness, and aesthetically pleasing forms into tension with discomfort. Through this, I create friction in the work, activating feelings and inviting dialogue around the themes I explore.

 

Growing up with a brother with autism gave me a deep empathy and taught me to see the world through others’ eyes. This sensitivity informs the way I approach my installations and the interactions I create.

 

My background in acting informs how I approach presence and performance in my work. Feeling unheard in the past led me to place myself within my installations, making my personal experiences part of the work and giving my story a visible presence.

 

Curiosity has always driven my practice. As a child, I endlessly asked “why,” and my father’s explanations nurtured a lasting hunger for understanding. Each project becomes an experiment, combining technology and storytelling to push the boundaries of moving image installation.

 

My work reaches beyond the traditional art world. I create installations that inspire people who may not usually engage with art, using a universal visual language that makes my work accessible and relatable. I aim to challenge audiences to encounter subjects they might not normally reflect on, opening new ways of seeing and thinking through my work.
