Biography
Youngzoo IM primarily works with video, along with painting, installation, and publishing to examine absurd beliefs and their underlying structures. IM&s focus lies on the similarities, rather than differences, of scientific thinking with superstitions and religions that cannot be compatible by logic of the modern world. She interprets, borrows, and appropriates supernatural elements to create (quasi-) scientific images in her own way.
