Kim Winder As an installation artist, I create moving images where interaction plays an important role. My work is driven by my fascination for the human psyche, social issues, and taboo subjects, focusing on themes of time, change, and growth. Growing up with a brother with autism taught me to see the world through others’ eyes. This experience shapes my art: I incorporate interactive elements to create a dialogue with my audience. Using contrasts is an essential part in my work, and I also seek this dialogue within the materials themselves. For example, I combine fragility with raw materials or incorporate taboo themes into aesthetically pleasing forms. Through this, I create a friction in the viewer, encouraging them to reconsider their own perspectives.
 

My background in acting influences how I approach my work. Much of it is rooted in my personal experiences, which I present as closely as possible to my own reality. I also use myself as a ‘character’ in my art, expressing the feeling of being unheard, experiences from which I have drawn a lot of strength. By placing myself within my work, I share my story on my own terms.
 

This curiosity and search for answers has been part of me since childhood. My father, a walking encyclopedia, nourished my endless “why” questions. His knowledge not only inspired me to understand the world, but also to explore how things work, this and my fascination with science and technology continues in my art. My work is always an experiment, driven by the desire to understand and push the boundaries of what is possible.
