Sangsun Bae (b. 1971) was born in South Korea and completed her MFA in Fine Arts at Musashino Art University, Tokyo, in 2002. She furthered her studies at the Kyoto City University of Arts and participated in an exchange program at the Printmaking Department of the Royal College of Art, London, in 2003.
Her early work focused on monochromatic charcoal drawings, exploring the human body and its relationships, expressing the silent language of emotional and physical connection. Over time, her practice expanded to include installations and ceramic works themed around knots and cords, emphasizing tactile tension and the physicality of material and space.
In recent years, Bae has incorporated research into the modern and contemporary histories of Japan and Korea, creating image-based works using archival photographs and documentary materials that visualize layered narratives of memory, identity, and collective experience. Currently based in Kyoto, she works between Japan and South Korea.
She also participated in the exhibition "BLACK & WHITE" Digital Catalog
