The Living Torso 2016- 2019
The Living Torso Project is a series of photographs that focus on drawing and contain the different types of body shapes and sizes in the same posture.
The figures provide both form and content for the matter of gender. The selected body is described as a torso mannequin in the state of decomposition; no arms, legs and head. This means that it is exploring the human body both inner and outer by implementing a fragmented body. Acquiring the specific posture aims to reconstruct a deficient beauty and express an ambiguous boundary as taking a juxtaposition of male/female.

TORSO PROJECT 2010-2018
TORSO PROJECT 2013-2018 Using the torso as a medium its content is defined as desire of eternity and describes finite life. Inspired by anatomy charts, ultrasound pictures and cell images, Minju Kim creates a unique landscape of body where life and death runs in a continuous loop.
‘The character is the taxidermist who has always wanted to arrive at an ideal space. She made herself taxidermy for eternity. She cut her belly with a machine and placed material into her body. Finally she became a torso.’
BODY SERIES 2010-2017 Artist's early project, a series of photographs that focus on the concept of sexual desire, life and death.
